Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

No matter what is said,
To another with words believed understood...
There will be a misinterpretation,
That is explained to someone else...
...

What should one do?
When left is a clue...
A 3rd disappointment awaits to cling?
...

To entitle those with entitlements,
With a bestowing of titles...
That represents,
Nothing that comes to benefit...
...

The lesson I've learned,
From my own observations...
That had me debating what decision to make.
And I am the one left in an emotional state of mind?
...

Run to the ONE who comforts you.
Without delaying.
Run to the ONE who comforts you.
Without debating...
...

My eyes never left the ball.
Afterall...
I became disciplined to keep my focus on it.
And when I joined on the field with others,
...

The advocates of free speech!
And, oh! ...those first amendment rights they seek.
With a doing to smear beliefs of others.
Don't you just love the way they use the media to do this?
...

Those grandiose approaches spoken,
From podiums to deliver token speeches made...
While the ones running to be elected,
To represent the best of delusions...
...

Either mystical doom or an acceptance of evil.
People are obsessed,
With an ending to their lives...
That entertains their imaginations.
...

So glad I had been given chores to do 'then',
With activities to keep me occupied...
In the days of my youth.
...
