Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Here's a scoop,
For those who have been duped.
Don't take it personally.
People who do this have no idea,
...

We all have made those decisions,
To live the kind of life we like.

Some have chosen to fulfill their dreams with things!
...

An erasing to escape the past eight years,
Can not be done.
And the accusations from those stunned,
By that which has happened...
...

Some satisfy themselves,
On the discomfort of others.
Liars and gossipers.
Backstabbers and thieves.
...

I can not tell you...
How, when or even why this happens.
I can only leave you in undisputed denial,
Since that is your gift!
...

To account for one's ignorance,
Is like announcing that truth exists.
And that is not permitted...
Since the proof of it,
...

Consumed,
With a self hatred.
And makes more room....
For a mind to sit,
...

A freedom of speech...
Is generally upheld by those,
Who are not offended or opposed...
To either printed or expressed content.
...

My days and nights,
And appetite to live my life right...
Is a quest sometimes,
That leaves me unrested.
...

I see you in the Spring.
So full of life...
And enjoying it.
...
