Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Nobody wants to be thought of as dumb!
Even though they do things stupid.
And...
Nobody wants to be the one that runs!
...

By the minute someone's picked to fit the image...
Of a loser.
Or an enemy.
And...
...

Touching surfaces.
Left to dust.
And compelled to do this,
I feel I must.
...

If everyone who lies,
Had lied or intends to...
In a professed confession...
To address this done,
...

People will 'always',
Subject themselves to be convinced...
That a truth outspoken,
Should somehow offend.
...

Exploited to enjoy it.
Flag waving patriots are used as bait.
To Endorse and defend,
Values they have created.
...

It is time for many to get it together.
Outdated are excuses to consider them to make.
Especially for anyone still in disbelief mode.
That perception today,
...

Anyone who hides behind their religious beliefs.
With this done to perceive,
God has their backs.
Whenever they choose to pass judgement on others.
...

Seldom does a forgiveness to give it repeatedly.
Comes with a warrantee.
To have it checked on an annual basis.
Most who give another their forgiveness once.
...

The ones who have remained miraculously,
Sane and conscious of these days we live.
Will notice it not so difficult,
To adapt to all the changes being made.
...
