Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Even though tomorrow,
Will not resemble today at all...
The one thing that will remain the same,
Is my willingness to do and be my best for you.
...

Creating scenerios to later forget the dialogue,
Setting, date and what took place...
Does not sit well with one who pays attention.
And hears with a fluent active listening.
...

It is nearly impossible not to notice,
An advocating with support...
That seems to feed the initiating,
Of today's craze.
...

If anyone should come to you,
And this just might happen...
Insisting there is a better life,
You can and should live...
...

Short lived,
Are bogus moments stolen.
And a spotlight gained,
Under false pretense...
...

I've doubled up on my love for life.
I learned games to play and I've paid that price.
But those nights and my youthful days grew colder.
...

'How did we arrive,
To get 'ourselves' into this situation? '

I thought you knew.
...

Isn't it easier to accuse another,
With the finding of excuses done...
For that which we do to initiate,
Than it is to step forward...
...

It has to come as a disappointment,
To carefully pick an opponent...
Who is perceived to be unaware of it.
But proves more than worthy,
...

Losing one's ability,
To maintain both credibility and integrity...
With one's social heirarchy attacked as well,
Is far worse than losing one's credit rating status.
...
