Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Listen to their arguments.
And their justification,
To seeth within with pent up anger.
And you will hear the voices,
...

Your ideals have been consumed,
By polluted solutions.
Immaturity reveals,
A reluctance to face...
...

Not a 'what-if' in sight,
On the horizon in my mind.
Neither am I trying to find,
An 'I wonder'.
...

Chasing mediocrity,
To seek an approval...
Is to deny one's best efforts.
...

With a bleeding done to get,
And secure...
Those 'things' endeared.
Some choose and have chosen...
...

When it comes,
It comes not to leave.
It seems to stay there eternally.
...

Open up your heart to unlock it.
From all the dislikes you've got.
Stop and open up your heart to start,
Accepting things that you rather not.
...

If I encourage you,
To always be yourself.
With a doing of this...
Wanting it to do.
...

Sad to see.
A feeding of a madness.
Fed to begin.
By just one who deceives.
...

There is only one way out,
Through a closed door.
And it is the belief,
That the opening of it...
...
