Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Those of us unafraid to admit,
We have aged along with times...
That seem to have slipped quickly,
Through our youthful fingertips.
...

Those moments most remembered best.
Seem to be those spontaneous.
Done to do without announcement.
And caring less how one is dressed.
...

Meaningless.
Decisions made too late.
Too late to save their importance.
In arguments to defend,
...

Success achieved.
Often is in the eye of the beholder.
Seldom in the eye to behold,
Are rolled up sleeves.
...

Mobilize to realize.
Your quality of life can be improve.
Mobilize to realize.
Wishes do not come,
...

Always.
There will be untold stories.
Created down to unbelievable details.
To have believed events.
...

I'm gonna need a mop.
To mop up the tears you've dropped.
Bay-bee.
Bay-bee.
...

More chase the symptoms.
Like trained dogs.
Taught to fetch.
Then bring them back.
...

"My country 'tis of thee.
Sweet land of liberty.
Of their I sing."
...

A normalcy to describe it.
No longer exist.
And those upset and resist reality,
They still hold onto a past.
...
