Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Gone are the days,
To make attempts to remember...
Where one placed,
An unread message sent.
...

No more will it be,
Back to business as usual.
More to focus,
On money, the economy and greed.
...

Purposeful it is...
Respecting to listen.
Both entertaining and educational,
Is the sharing of this with others.
...

Thinking.
Very important.

Common sense.
...

If someone has shown,
To have made known...
Their inability to see life,
From a point of view...
...

Try not to remember,
What is told...
By another over and over.
Should be forgotten to forget.
...

The same lesson to teach it.
Basic and simple.
Laughed at, ignored.
Dismissed and unbelieved.
...

The saddest thing most,
Will come to face these days.
Is a truth they had been entitled,
To ignore.
...

Little sense does it make.
To have an abundance of hindsight.
With time to take on this to waste.
Or on it to spend,
...

Keep your feelings upbeat.
You and no one else,
Can not do this enough.
Do not welcome self defeat.
...
