Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Some live to seek for themselves,
Attention to get.
With personal accolades,
Given to them mentioned.
...

Do what you do to do due.
To prove,
An excellence at your best when at it.
Prove you are not blowing gas,
...

Everyday starts fresh.
As the witnessing of morning dew.
With a dawning from the Sun.
Done to come and introduce,
...

A camouflaged insanity.
Buffed up to cover,
A corruption that disrupts.
This camouflaged insanity,
...

Up and above my head.
The presence of countless stars are there.
Sparkling and twinkling bright everywhere.
With a clarity to appear,
...

What is it that you wish.
As a year to soon leave,
Takes its final bow to forget.
Will you wish for the new year,
...

Some live...
Without kept faith or hope.
Moping with their negative feelings.
And expressing to show this,
...

Under the surface.
More is there unrevealed.
Kept under surface.
There to remain concealed.
...

Be about,
Completing a task.
And...
Be About,
...

Is it your purpose to remain indifferent.
Thinking it an incentive and reason,
To participate with others...
In decisive divisions supporting conflicts.
...
