Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Fill this house with abundance.
None like it has ever known.
Fill this house with peace and joy.
And let those within it,
...

Choices made are just the beginning,
For other choices to make.
Leaving an appetite to develop,
In a patience where choices sit to marinate
...

Bittersweet is the life lived,
By that one depicted to be...
The odd one out.
The one picked as a child,
...

There are too many bold,
Sad but the truth is on.
And too may all-knowing for their teachers.
Sad but the truth is on.
...

If I never ever see you,
You'd be fine!
And I'd be too!
...

There has been no time you've spent,
Listening to one thing I've meant.
Or pretend you understood,
To com-pre-hend.
...

If you are amongst those,
Who base their realities...
Without the facts.
And not accepting facts,
...

If the energy I receive comes naturally or stimulated,
By a multi-vitamin I take.
Or a drink that is free of additives,
To initiate a motivation I keep sustained...
...

Cold?
Everything,
Has a cause and effect!
Like wishes for love that never comes.
...

No regard or sign of respect.
Raised on material values...
And ideals they neglect.
Just for a dollar,
...
