Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Greed has chased their jobs,
And employers overseas.
Outsourcing was the word I heard...
When a few years ago,
...

It is best to leave those cranky alone.
It pays to leave those cranky people alone.

Leave those cranky people,
...

If the only caring you did for me,
Was to pretend it done and successfully...
Guess which one of us benefitted,
By meeting someone genuine...
...

Defying the odds.
Winning to get attention,
After being kicked to the curb...
Is an awesome feeling one deserves.
...

I am not one to assess another's flaws,
With wishes they perceive my view of life.
I can not say who should rid themselves of them,
To correct themselves to make things for them right.
...

I got so wrapped up and locked into perfection.
Thinking I should be...
Someone other than me.
...

Hot!
Like a heat hot.
These past few days,
In the first week of July 2010...
...

If you are that kind of person,
Who does not understand...
That pieces of a jiggsaw puzzle,
Creates a completed picture...
...

If you happen to be one who brags,
About that which you love to say you own.
And your signature appears,
On outstanding loans?
...
