Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Seldom are those pro-active,
Sitting to reminsce...
Their victories conquered,
During the causes and effects of war.
...

A child to nourish,
Is no different than a flower...
Protected from weeds,
To ensure it grows to full bloom.
...

If I sat on a fence with others,
To prove I too could do it...
What message does that send?
With it convinced...
...

As we approach a new day,
With a dragging behind us...
The comfort of old and stale ways,
Only those who have aged and stubbornly...
...

Those with interest invested,
In appearances, looks...
And with preferences kept to address,
Find themselves more dependent and stressed...
...

Keep it with you night and day long.
Never turning off but left on.
Your honesty,
Left on.
...

Lies to believe,
Will always be lies to believe.
Ask anyone why they have been convinced,
To protest against a revealing of truth.
...

Today,
Although needless and serves no purpose...
There are those still making attempts to escape,
With an erasing of their true 'selves'.
...

Encounters never before faced,
To surprise those unexpectedly...
It is always the best decision to make,
When confronted...
...

When certain people refuse to listen,
With nothing to comprehend or learn...
Why continue to waste time and unheard words?
What point is there to be made,
...
