Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Just one soul,
Sincere!
And not into spinning,
Cut paste conversations...
...

The only ones declaring,
In broad daylight...
A need to uphold moralistic values,
Are those feeding their gutter temptations...
...

Those trying to 'find' themselves,
And have a firm hold onto their pretentions...
Only keep their intentions tricked.
Everytime they don a fresh masquerade.
...

Listen to them.
Stop...
And really pay attention.
What are they saying?
...

That you and others,
Sharing the same point of view...
Find in your private discussions,
An embitterness expressed...
...

Why have they come to picket his home?

'One of them has recently discovered,
A grandmother of a neighbor...
...

'Suppose those newly elected,
Can not fulfill their promises...
By the next election.
What happens then? '
...

Why am I 'not' making attempts,
To participate locally...
With my creative attributes?
...

Raw and sugarless...
That's the reality,
Many will be forced to see...
As 2011 continues on its journey.
...

I stand and watch to wait.
I've been told to have patience.
But...
Hesitating in anticipation,
...
