Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Insecurities to keep them.
And childish jealousies to maintain.
Creates the igniting of disasters.
Initiated by those,
...

Never before to have faced.
An enemy created no one sees.
And never have so many been afraid.
Of death threats that come.
...

Keep them in your mind.
Glued there stuck to stick.
Never let them fade.
Or lose your sight of them to quit.
...

Those most affected.
And connected emotionally.
Seem always the ones who give,
Themselves and time to others...
...

To experience or mention.
Redemption.
What does these days redemption,
...

What point does truth make.
When the evidence and proof of it,
Has been laid out.
Microscoped to examine.
...

Privately.
Those who have wealth.
And status must know,
If they had an abundance...
...

Whose hearts are left,
To ache the most.
The ones running out of breath.
Warning of imminent danger coming.
...

Reality!
So much of it has come.
To dump it all at once,
Upon unsuspecting minds.
...

Too many take for granted.
What they assume to know.
Or hear through gossip.
To then add their own,
...
