Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I may not be the most intelligent.
To consciously know this to admit.
But I could never prove to myself.
Or others.
...

In between wants and wishes.
Decency and its significance.
Should be prioritized to stay,
Among the top 5 of one's list.
...

Fear to face.
Can possibly be taught.
And sought to combat it.
From videos selected.
...

In remembrance of...
All that could have been.
If I had listened to pay attention.
I can only thank God that I didn't.
...

You.
Do what you do.
To do it well.
And you.
...

You. Me.
We all would be,
Better off and taken care of...
If we leave it to believe,
...

Decades in the making.
And fed upon ideals.
To appeal to those,
Pioneering untold freedoms.
...

Too many claim they try to fix.
What is not broken.
That should be left the way it is.
Then leave a mess.
...

Insufficient isn't beneficial.
Should it be?
To anyone seeking benefit.
With it sought.
...

The best way there is to find,
Respect, love and happiness.
Takes not pages of research,
One investigates to be left exhausted.
...
