Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Corrupted intentions seldom succeed.
Even those who believe,
They have a clear strategy...
Risk losing their delusions to see them fail.
...

Another day.
Another celebrated conflict is made.
Another confusion to exist but disbelieved.
Another tension to resist.
...

I want to feel relevant.
With a significance that is competent,
Energized and prepared.
When I strut it is done with a pride I stride,
...

Being optimistic sometimes isn't realistic,
When...
You know what it's like,
Having every button you have pushed.
...

Sometimes people do make mistakes.
I've made some.
And who has not made a few?
But not knowingly at the expense of others.
...

Why am I upset?
There is no one in a leadership position,
Who has taken responsibility...
For my lack of competence.
...

Some will play all day,
Games of dodge ball and hide and seek.
Wishing to be tagged with 'come-hither' coyness.
Like children believed to be cute and sweet.
...

If you are that kind of person,
Who does not understand...
That pieces of a jiggsaw puzzle,
Creates a completed picture...
...

If you happen to be one who brags,
About that which you love to say you own.
And your signature appears,
On outstanding loans?
...

There are times without reason,
When the mind rewinds...
Finding thoughts of others to come unexpected.
And hoping that a call brings a gratitude to express.
...
