Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Whatever the day brings...
Be prepared to say to someone,
'Whatever! '
It is bound to happen!
...

Running game.
As if this lame routine
Isn't known or seen,
For what it is!
...

If I pinched myself,
Would you feel it and say 'ouch! '
Would my concerns
Pull you away from a chair or a couch,
...

They are determined to be right...
Without sleep and plans of strategies,
That continue to fail!
Day and night...
...

Take all of our troubles off the ground, Lord.
Take all of our troubles off the ground.
Take all of our troubles off the ground, Lord.
Take all these troubles up...
...

Truth has descended upon us unannounced,
And people are discovering their shallowness.
They are hiding to cover themselves under fresh lies!
Believing they can not be seen!
...

The one who loses
Is not the one aware
Of a loss or losses lost!
The one who loses
...

I'm not into digging deep into the bottom of things!
If it is it is...
If it's not it's not!
I'm not a scientist.
...

Goodbye yesterday!
Today tomorrow has begun.
The Sun is rising and the air is fresh.
And that hope for a better day has come!
...

Whatever it is that makes you happy,
Happiness given is what it takes.
Left alone happiness can not create...
Or bring one to a joyful state!
...
