Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I awakened this morning...
So early I was shakened!
Did I hear someone say...
'There's been an outbreak of peace!
...

If I said I love you!
You would not think I meant it!
And I would not object,
You wanting to correct me!
...

Man down...
On urban streets,
Dredging trenches
In wars that heat!
...

Your excess has left you unacceptible!
Your extremes of self importance,
Is too reserved and self absorbing!
I called out to you once to watch...
...

There is no apparatus used,
When someone tries to regain
A status they abused!
Or nothing disrespectful,
...

You want me to understand...
This about you
And that about you
And this about you
...

It's all the same,
When a game is played lame!
It's all the same...
A lame game!
...

A sea of truth comes soon to flood,
Pouring into ears with shock!
Those who find themselves betrayed,
Will not attempt to stop 'this' block!
...

Back and forth drifting.
From thought to thought,
Sitting!
Wishing them to go away,
...

And as we leave behind limitations,
That kept us blinded from the views...
Of fresh plateaus there to discover.
We see the narrowness of our cares,
...
