Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

One with an eagerly massaged ego boosted,
By those aggravating aggressively.
And cheering behind the scenes.
Show no concern about losing their integrities.
...

What is appealing to the greedy,
Has yet pleasured to please...
The ones in need.
While impeccably dressed thieves,
...

Not a day goes by,
Without it beginning...
Fresh with each day,
To brighten a night darkened sky.
...

To defend a craze.
In minds long gone.

So ludicrous today's madness.
...

Whether like it or not,
We're in a common bond.
As human beings.
In a common bond.
...

Defiant.
And relying upon fortune.
Maintained by the gaining,
Of solicited obtained fame.
...

What is this?
Where did it come from?
And why are we here?
To question.
...

A sustained and maintained,
Wicked to inflict it vicious maliciousness.
Loses its deliciousness without licked lips.
When those wishing to be kept victimized,
...

Even in the best of times,
There will be those hoping to find...
The worse thing to do.
Just to remind,
...

How have those,
Who pursued a higher education...
Used what they've been taught,
To produce a better nation.
...
