Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Do not aspire to achieve heights of greatness,
And be prone to make typographical errors...
Of words used,
Without knowing definitions.
...

How can you take what is mine,
Away from me?
And excuse that act,
As something that you do?
...

Alone with myself,
So much comes into view.
Life and my purpose.
What is and not true.
...

I am not upset,
Because they seem to apply quotas...
To my existence.
But the monthly statistics,
...

People at the bustop.
('people at the bustop? ')
Don't have time to talk a lot.
('people at the bustop? ')
...

The next time you awaken,
Do not generalize your negativity.
Go straight to the nearest mirror,
And thank God you were blessed...
...

In 1854 or somewhere around that date,
Someone decided...
This day for them they would celebrate.
Poking fun and playing practical jokes.
...

The mothers are now saying,
Their children need their fathers.
But weren't they they ones,
Who kept the fathers away?
...

You will not pick me as your victim,
To have me believe it.
Because I wont be the one,
To have that done.
...

Those who lie and deny they do,
Have never been introduced to value truth.
Dishonesty for them is a way of life.
And a mindset like this without insight,
...
