Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

To dream the impossible to achieve,
Is a possibility that has been proven.
However...
To persuade those conscious,
...

If people from childhood,
Are not taught to teach.
The importance of listening.
And encouraged with kept discipline,
...

Subliminal it can be.
A sustained superficiality.
But those superficial,
Who remain that way...
...

If we were living,
To bring up the past.
Which has no presence,
Of being in the present in it.
...

Speeding and too fast to grasp.
Content and substance.
Quick to get and not long to last.
That which has,
...

Give it a semester to fester.
While deteriorating delusions,
To have had in the past.
Digesting until relieved.
...

No matter where the information is.
Easily accessible.
Or attempts made,
To diminish its significance.
...

No response,
Should anyone expect to get.
From a brick wall.
Regardless if it is short or tall.
...

An agenda to implement,
Without a consensus...
As to its purpose and strategy.
May leave others feeling,
...

Where is that leadership to be known.
Dependable to rely upon.
But kept to keep as a memory.
When only a pretentiousness,
...
