Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Making attempts,
To revive that which is clearly nonexisting.
And has past its usefulness...
Is sad to witness.
...

Still there will be many...
Seeking advice!
From those who continue to lead them,
Down the path of darkness.
...

I guess they thought,
Through my actions...
I sought their attention.
But how could that be?
...

Do you actually believe,
I would 'say' something you dislike?
I might!
But I wouldn't count on it.
...

'May I ask you a question? '

Sure.
...

If you are one,
To profess a faith...
Said is deep in God.
But a fear kept and limited,
...

I am not here,
With a wish to deliver.
I am here,
Because I can deliver.
...

Belittling those things that others do,
With a constant backstabbing to defame...
Shows clearly the presence of one's jealousy.
And undermining another's name,
...

Toxic are those envious who eventually destroy,
The existence of their own as shown to be done.
With such a blinding effectiveness that feeds a quest,
They become proud to make it known...
...

If I cared what others had to say about me,
Whether negative or indifferent with hints...
Of positivity,
This writing witnessed...
...
