Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Speak ill of others.
With a will to prove,
This you can do.
Expect to become ill.
...

Feeling to live life,
Outside the box.
Is an experience,
Known by not too many...
...

What today is being presented to represent,
The highest of values.
With them politically and religiously,
To uphold, maintain...
...

A belligerent child,
Known to be undisciplined.
And no longer can be tolerated,
To excuse every movement they do...
...

As it is to believe,
Truth is true as truth to be.
Leaving few to say they knew,
There would come a day to say...
...

Why use binoculars.
And dress in camouflaged fatigues.
Hiding atop roofs.
To then jump from those roofs to trees.
...

Somedays...this.
And other days...that.
With no specific preferences.
To agree without hesitation,
...

Okay.
Well done.
Now...
I want you to concentrate.
...

If nothing else is learned,
On both sides...
Of an ignorant path to follow.
It will be eventually discovered,
...

A game played to win,
Using common sense.
Rarely requires,
Documented intelligence.
...
