Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I am not into the hide and seek business.
No...
Not me.
I prefer to be confronted,
...

Hello!
And welcome to reality.
Welcome,
To what the continual feeding...
...

It has been said,
Love is blind.
Hypnotizing and confines,
Common sense.
...

A promoted insurrection,
Allowed to take place.
And to disgrace,
The image of democracy.
...

What is seen and taking place.
Whether to disbelieve.
Or not accept.
Is a truth too effective.
...

When wishing a harm,
Comes done to others.
People who wish this to want,
Are seldom concerned...
...

Tell me this...
How can you folks just sit.
Playing board games.
And not express one concern,
...

The only thing evil owns,
To do it sold.
Whenever they wish to sell it.
And to whomever buys.
...

A damage done.
Done to do.
To excuse a doing,
As if a forgiveness to ask...
...

Even the unexpected.
Designed for effect.
To produce the best,
Upheaval to cause...
...
