Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

It is extremely difficult to stop,
Anyone with a passion...
Determine to see others fail.
...

To save up today,
For a later date...
Is commendable if possible,
For those in positions to do it.
...

Everyday there is 'something' else introduced
Many are solicited,
To advocate the supporting of ineffectiveness.
With a taking an attention away from the facts.
...

There is nothing terribly wrong,
In the expressing of anyone's sentiments...
About the multitude of negative events,
Convincingly taking place...
...

If my mission was to impress,
To effectively address a perceived ego...
Gone unidentified as an awareness.
With a labelling of being arrogant.
...

In these times we live,
It is best to leave those to dangle...
From a thread of hope that their cherished beliefs,
Are worthy to cling onto with a keeping sacred.
...

She seeks to be validated.
And...
He seeks to be validated.
And...
...

A fluid mind turned on...
Wants to stay strong!
With...
An energy that motivates initiative.
...

If I spent all of my time,
Thinking about heartache...
With accusations to make,
In rebuttle to naysayers...
...

What point is there to be made,
To repeatedly acknowledge...
Those who sabotage themselves,
With the hopes one day they will be embraced...
...
