Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

All day.
And hours after midnight has passed,
I find I am still not satisfied...
To have done the best I could yesterday.
...

Executive has been the gar'barge.
Docked to have it dumped on the people.
Regardless where they live.
Or who they are on shores near and far.
...

No one wins.
When the battle is within them.
No one wins.
When there's an opposition fought,
...

They remain,
Pleasant to some peasants.
Although all they regard,
With much disdain.
...

So many are feeling hostile.
And kept to feel hostage.
With a doing to have allowed,
A given of permission to commit to this.
...

Misdeeds seem to come easily to inflict.
When some perceive,
A position they have been given...
Not to earn.
...

Unique and different times.
Take unique and thinking minds.
Together.
To find progressive ways to leave behind,
...

Gone to take with them incentive.
And motivation.
Betrayed and taken for granted.
Also is an interest to have had,
...

Refrain from being down,
With the smell and stench of b.s.
There is nothing to be inspired about it.
Leave it where it is.
...

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