Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I pray everyday to keep my 'darkside' away.
With a staying peaceful.
And not have it teased to pieces,
Or from it to stray...
...

I once had been told to fear ignorance.
And not accept its appearance,
Wherever it was I went.
And not knowing why,
...

There are those with selective memories,
Who take it upon themselves to forget...
Those times others found to find,
To put aside their own interests...
...

I hear the static like it's feedback.
'I hear the static like it's feedback.'
And it's coming in both ears.
I hear the static like it's feedback.
...

I want a love that fits a difference and appears...
Clear these days.
And in every way.
...

Why do you believe I keep secrets?
Why would you think this,
When all my emotions are devoted to you?
...

Everyday...
The same thing goes on.

And it's everyday...
...

They all want to be seen as kings and queens.
With it expressed...
They had been forcibly separated,
From wealth collected and stolen treasure chests.
...

WHY does it seem,
There are so many people...
Increasing to express violence,
Towards one another?
...

A fighting over turf is worthless.
Especially when those awaiting...
With their bulldozers to erase and eliminate,
All that exist with a renovation permitted.
...
