Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Read this at your leisure.
With a doing to comprehend if wished.
You are not obligated to understand...
Once a message comes to me then goes,
...

Deceivers may attempt to impress others,
With rehearsed qualities they 'seem' to possess.
But integrity one has and naturally displayed,
Is rarely in public seen to be interpreted as practiced.
...

The one most likely to be observed displaying,
Intolerance and impatience with another...
Is someone who has grown tired of a repeated routine.
Or someone who has learned,
...

Why bother...
To seek meaning,
Undefined?
When my mind is confined,
...

Giving it because it fits.
And giving it,
Style.
...

If you need it keep it.
Faith.
If you need it.
Hope.
...

We all 'should'...
Learn to grow from our own mistakes.
To know this is a process of life to live.
We all 'should'...
...

In places where people have lived to exist,
On myths and delusion and unfulfilled promises...
A truth spoken and direct has adverse affects.
And often results in shouting voices heard in protest.
...

And once again...
Leaves blowing in October winds,
Fall to drfit from different trees.
As branches are left exposed.
...

There are very few things left,
To go unexposed...
For the purpose to select and offend those,
Clinging onto proper etiquette...
...
