Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

We are going to be facing incredible threats soon.
I can 'feel' it.

'Threats?
...

With just a bit of rest,
And out of breath to catch it...
I'm on a mission I confess,
Has been with me it seems...
...

Finally,
An agreement between those made,
Who have argued for decades...
Over that which they have regarded as important,
...

Take time to notice,
What an attention given to others does.
So many unaccustomed to getting it,
Perceive with a belief it is theirs to stay...
...

Forgotten are the rules and benefits of love.
Where the keepers?
The true believers?
And...
...

Anyone who will do anything,
With intent to take advantage of another...
Will do this time and again.
And...
...

Is it too late, under-rated yet magnified,
To appreciate reality and rid alibis.
Is it too late to terminate a manifesting made,
In minds re-routed from a consciousness...
...

Refuse the empathy and keep...
Those dreams you wish kept alive.
Keep...
Them in your mind to survive.
...

Keep your opinions valued.
Aren't they 'yours' to make?
Aren't they yours to express?
No matter what approach you use,
...

If I had not been there for you,
With interest...
To take you through steps,
A, B and C...
...
