Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Initiate.
Locate.
Eliminate.
...

With a wish to enforce their agonies upon others...
Some get extremely upset,
If their attempted ambitions go rejected.
And we all have come in contact,
...

Emerging economies,
Have nothing to do...
With my own backyard,
Suffering from the lack of maintenance.
...

I am not 'this' that you wish.
A novelty you expect,
As an exception to go unchanged.
...

See it the way you want to.
Call it what you wish.
Hop on one leg and do backflips.
...

Systematically,
And with a pinch of strategy...
An addiction to mediocrity condoned,
Has replaced the drive to achieve...
...

Memories of accomplishments,
Come as a relief as a nourishing rain.
A sacrifice maintained,
Has flourished to produce results.
...

Knocked from a spot on top.
But not knocked up!
Or out of the loop.
I have my genes to thank for that.
...

You are absolutely right.
What you do,
Is your business.
But not at the expense,
...

I want to sleep with a peace slept...
Kept in the Land of Oz.

And if I choose to step on yellow bricks,
...
