Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Words to use,
With insinuations to make.
Is purposely done to paint a picture.
And a doing to manipulate,
...

Televised to dramatize,
A denial of the truth.
Many seek to the curb to boot.
Yet can not provide,
...

There are many these days,
With time to waste and excuses to make.
Done to do to blame and accuse others,
For their efforts endeavored.
...

I may not have heard,
Words spoken from others...
Directly said to the horse.
Had been true or not.
...

The best way to keep,
One's peace of mind.
Knowing to have earned,
An undisturbed and restful sleep.
...

It only takes the missing to regret,
Something said to a friend...
To express it meant.
Yet can not forget,
...

The majority of the people,
In these days when deceivers...
Are making decisions,
In places they are erasing...
...

Stepping on someone's foot unconsciously.
Can be forgiven as a mistake to make.
Being color blind,
And putting on sox without a design.
...

The proof of truth is in the facts.
And a nibble to taste just a little of it,
Has sickened the minds.
Wishing to have no more of that.
...

It did not have to become,
What has been done...
By many who have given,
Breath to their lies and deception.
...
