Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Refusing to listen,
But skilled in opposition...
To not comprehend,
Although known to seek attention...
...

Assumptions made,
Do not make dreams come true.
And no one without initiative,
Can prove they've become exhausted...
...

Living in times when minds are blind to facts,
And attracted to deceptions that have intercepted...
Reason, common sense and consciousness,
Those who have accepted...
...

Obtained success,
Is not achieved without receiving threats.
And it does not matter to those envious,
What had been sacrificed or the time spent...
...

Why is it you wish to convince others,
That I should be held responsible...
And accountable for your ignorance.
When I did everything possible,
...

Too many have found themselves,
Behind times that have moved on.
Gone is the sting,
Of protesting against the obvious.
...

I make a request to remove all revolving doors.

'Why? '
...

Contradictions.

'What about them? '
...

The only ones today,
Observed to be upset by disappointment...
With it done suffering through severe depression,
And overwhelming anguish...
...

With hard work invested.
And sacrifices made.
I'm sure I am not the only one irritated,
By those who had skipped through life...
...
