Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The thing about a true friendship,
To that one that true friendship...
Is easily given.
Once it is given and it is diminished,
...

The best way not to be caught up in a frenzy?
Avoid being that one,
Accepting beliefs...
Being caught up in a frenzy,
...

Representing a decadence this is...
Represents its existence,
As it is and this is clear.
...

It is always the economy,
Affecting needs.
Always it is!
And not one's education...
...

Stop your copping on my duty,
That your are trying to scoop.
Stop your snooping to excuse it too,
Boo!
...

Once it is observed,
And perceived to be easy...
Everyone begins making claims,
They too can make thunder roll.
...

What is it,
That a living basically...
One enjoys,
Annoys other people?
...

If it is true you knew,
How I felt in those times...
Where were you,
To help me empty...
...

Hard it is,
To esacpe from those common places.
And familiar faces we grow with perceptions,
Comfort us in an exchange of receptions...
...

Through 'everything'...
There are eyes that see.
The only kept hidden,
Is what one perceives to believe.
...
