Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

There are times many come,
To ignore the same warnings.
And yet...
Seem as if addicted,
...

A beginning that ends,
Its treacherous journey.
Through abandoned common sense.
Thoughtlessness and self importance.
...

You!
Whatcha gonna do.
If you,
Don't know the difference...
...

No common sense is used.
Or time to it given,
To pay attention and listen.
And more obvious this becomes,
...

How does that old saying go?
'You can take a herd of horses,
To where fresh water freely flows.
Hoping to assist,
...

Occurrences repeated,
Of love given to receive.
One should never take for granted.
To believe another,
...

Learning many lessons,
Is a positive step...
In the right direction.
Yet does not guarantee,
...

The best of the wrong,
Has now gone expected.
Done to do.
Many await for it.
...

Discarded.
Made to think and believe,
Unneeded.
That basic life to live.
...

So many of us,
Have become too familiar...
To rush to re-act.
In the hope the doing of it,
...
