Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Bring that darkness felt to a peak!
Don't let it stay and destroy your sleep.
As demons creep and trouble!
...

When you read me...
Look into my eyes.
There you will find my heart.
And my soul...
...

No longer bonded to me you show.
Slip knot from your finger,
Is that band of gold.
...

Tickle me in places done.
That battle to win my heart,
You have won.
...

We live in some very mysterious days.
Humorous are some and complexed are others.

I remember being told I had nothing.
...

The one they declare great who led them...
Had to be awakened and reminded of it.
And he is given credit for delivering a message,
He read.
...

If we do eventually call one another comrades...
Would we then become communistic socialists?
Or would we remain the social fools,
We prefer.
...

How dare you say what's on your mind.
How dare you expose the inequities you find.
How dare you do that to attract more wrongs.
How dare you bring them out into the open?
...

When opposition begins to arise,
Against those facts to be believed?
The best advice to minimize doubters...
Is to remove them from sight.
...

Unsuccessful recreations kill...
The body, soul and mind.
And those of innovative spirits.
As time stoppers watch...
...
