Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Why am I able to stand firm and cemented?
And how can I agonize through pain to do it?
I am not a product of innuendos invented.
And my experiences are more,
...

I grew up encouraged to think independently.
And to believe 'everything' I saw on TV,
Was faked to create what was not real.
...

When the economy started to slip,
Who was not aware of it?
And...
Who pocketed the funds,
...

Those who administer from an ignorant point of view,
Should not be surprised...
If their influence comes to bite their own backsides!
Remember...
...

The only ones who advocate wars and fighting,
Are those who seek images of being victorious...
To ignore the ones who leave their blood,
Left to be forgotten on foreign battlefields.
...

What are you doing?

'Making it easy and obvious as possible,
How much attention you give to me...
...

Impossible it is,
To turn back the clock.
To stop,
An action that should not have taken place.
...

You trip too quick to get your results.
You trip too quick to insult and assault,
Those you don't know...
Who haven't shown,
...

What's keeping you from being grateful for your blessings?
And...
What's keeping you from knowing that and to confess?
And...
...

I am here!
Not to appease.
To then leave feeling guilt if I don't.
I am here,
...
