Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If you are one of the ones,
Still attempting to make sense...
In a world depleted of it?
You have my condolences.
...

So difficult it has to be,
For many to catch up...
From principles outdated.
And feeding on fast diets of all kinds.
...

These seasons come,
To feast upon our urges.
Giving us reason...
To chant in song,
...

Put down your weapons!
What do you defend?
Your right to bury natives,
Upon their own land?
...

I don't want to burst your bubble...
But when I close my eyes to pray,
I don't have imaginations of you
In the image of Jesus Christ,
...

I often wished someone had thoughts of me,
To stroll along the beach at sunset.
Then to strip and be naked.
Laying under darkening skies,
...

No one wishes to leave,
Perceptions of weakness.
Especially when financial debts...
Are handled to keep beliefs,
...

You were promised a change,
You could believe in.
It comes.
Be patient.
...

While you were chasing rainbows...
And playing hopscotch throughout your life.
There were those committed,
To doing things to get done.
...
