Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Time and space is relative,
Depending on how close...
We regard the association.
And how the togetherness is spent,
...

I have sought to seek,
No personal purpose...
To brag about efforts,
The Creator has blessed me...
...

I'm not one to build molehills into mountains.
Or carry an umbrella to shade from Sun.
I am here to experience 'and' make mistakes.
Nor am I one to repeat over and over...
...

There is nothing wrong,
In the overhearing of incorrect information.
That is done all the time.
However...
...

A misunderstanding occurs,
Throughout one's life...
When it is believed they maintain,
A controlling done over others.
...

If common sense was a commodity easily purchased,
Would it still be kept overflowing in supply...
As is requested?
But...
...

Living on 'advances' to repay,
And promissory notes...
To keep fantasies alive and envisioned,
Is to participate in an industry...
...

Civilities and public petty bickerings,
Steadily exposes those most affected...
With a need to tear themselves apart.
And explains why a mental illness,
...
