Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

'I have suffered this.
I have suffered that.'

'I have suffered this.
...

If it is not about you,
That you keep such desire to do...
To prove,
Then what is the purpose...
...

Make it wished,
To make it happen.
Do that now!
And don't forget.
...

Why do they glare?
Those who stop to stare...
With a bringing of their gloom,
To pollute environments everywhere.
...

You can not believe what is going on?
And in your disbelief,
You seek and explanation for it?
Perhaps you should ask yourself this question...
...

Escalated to aggravate,
Those with patience who once had waited.
Has many clearly witnessing...
A chipping away of that tolerance,
...

A banging of one's head observed,
Being done against a brick wall.
Appears to be painful.
...

A comfort in passing judgement on others,
Has its way of returning this activity...
Right back to those detractors.
...

When people use others,
Then make attempts...
To have those 'doing' appear as fools,
They show themselves for who they are.
...

We be...
Young.
We be...
Old.
...
