Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Why is it that headache makers,
Are the first to participate in the generating...
Of annoyances wished to inflict,
And knowing this?
...

'Where is 'my' beginning? '
I see this negligence in children's eyes.
I see their intelligent minds ignored,
By unfocused parents...
...

You've got me,
Beaming down from the stars.
You've got me,
Leaping Venus and Mars.
...

Save your leftovers,
And don't you think about it.
Throwing them out to just,
Waste away.
...

Tortured are their portraits,
Hanging.
A few undusted for many years.
And depicting scenes,
...

Image with pomp and circumstance,
Seems to have been diminished.
A taste of life that one wishes to feel,
Has risen high on priority lists.
...

Vague expressions of directed hatred,
To generate a protest...
By those encouraging the spreading of distress,
Has those who began this agitation quite upset...
...

Economically,
They have kept themselves detached.
Preferring instead,
To pick up paychecks...
...

Whatever mind you say,
You are comfortably in...
I recommend you apply,
For a formal leave of absence.
...

We have become alerted,
For enemies of all kinds to attack.
And we are instructed to look for them,
In movies or TV.
...
