Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You anger me when I see you in despair.
Because I know that is not where you wish to be.
You have the tools to lift yourself up.
But somehow you have chosen,
...

I know You are 'there' My Father.
A countless number of times,
You have answered my prayers.
Even when I had been lost,
...

What motivates someone,
To select another to victimize?
When it is their own life they jeopardize.
And everything they value is at stake.
...

First it was stated,
He lacked the experience.
Although the people had confidence in him.
And he became President.
...

Why do I prefer to be direct, blatant in my remarks...
And honest?
It is fun for me to observe those deceitful,
To find something I do to undermine.
...

Transformation comes,
To push forward...
From what has been done.
Sometimes paining with a laborious birth,
...

You are a negative human being.
With only yourself on your agenda.
And for years you've made that known!
...

They will not support themselves,
Or the local performing artists...
With words of encouragement,
That nourishes with motivation.
...

I bet you never would have believed this,
That in your lifetime...
You would come to witness,
The ridiculous.
...

Thrusted upon us,
Comes an Obamalust.
A 'must' unprecedented...
To put an end to those,
...
