Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Specific twisted myths,
Picked to depict...
Hypocrites with them,
Are too embedded to lift...
...

What needs to be done,
To patch cracks in foundations crumbling...
Around to be witnessed by everyone,
Needs less to be debated.
...

Only those who express,
A tiredness of hearing...
Familiar topics similarly addressed,
Are the ones expecting to solicit...
...

That those of my generation...
Have made a better way,
Today?
With attempts made to save,
...

If it's to be solved,
One must...
Not hesitate,
To procrastinate.
...

The doer becomes the one more pressured,
To push ahead.
Regardless of the obstacles,
The doer removes.
...

Remember this...
You can accuse me of anything you wish.
However...
Not one of your troubles,
...

Who's way would I have had,
To do it another way instead of my own?
With a knowing my way had been unpaved,
And beset with impossibilities...
...

Unleash that beast that you keep.
It wants to knock you off your feet.
Unleash that beast that you keep.
It wants to knock you off your feet.
...

With no light to find...
In deep and darkened dungeons.
Stuck in the dungeons,
With no light to find...
...
