Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Choosing what one wishes to do,
Is at first ridiculed.
Especially if what is seen to be done,
Appears to be impossible.
...

Isn't that something,
Those believe.
A life that includes diversity,
They can do without.
...

Estimating a number from observations seen,
It would be too difficult to produce the exact figure.
Of the ones complaining,
About environments they wish to be in.
...

You say my coco broke your molar.
Now you run from me gone.
And the dentist you say is expensive.
Now you run from me gone.
...

It is incomprehensible to perceive,
Those born and taught to be thieves...
Would have giving hearts for anyone to believe,
They would rush to the aid of others seeking...
...

Somebody's always finding,
Something to open minds.
A gap, a crack or crevice,
That knits a loophole!
...

What do you have to say to those,
Who have had their valuables, treasures...
And other possessions,
From them taken away?
...

When one prays
They seek safe passage.
Nothing can match it,
When a faith stays.
...

It is not that I am against relationships.
I am just one taught to be cautious.
...

You want anyone.
Someone,
To occupy that void felt inside.
Left in your life.
...
