Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I have known of no one,
Who has said with it professed...
Of being smart.
With this comfortably accepted.
...

No one with eyes clearly open,
Is going to stop to wonder about...
The use of a preposition.
And where in a sentence it should go.
...

Not one who runs will win this race.
Or come close to see the finish line.
The pace of time is much too quick.
And those who haven't kept up with it,
...

Promises are made to those who protest,
Their quality of life has faded.
Without them being aware of suffering loses.
Or an effective degrading that has taken place.
...

So glad I am to be old school.
With a learning to give respect to others,
Is something from myself I expect and do.
Regardless if I should get it or not,
...

Shuggy shuggy shuggy shock pop pop.
Shuggy shuggy shuggy shock pop.

You bring me,
...

Some perceive a success to achieve and get,
Depends upon who lets it become acquired.
As if a rating to place against others,
Will heat a competition that feeds its quality.
...

Who is in need more,
Is only relevant to those who perceive...
What they see on TV,
Or in movies...
...

Never assume the answer,
Without asking the question.

It takes the wanting to understand.
...

You've given me a lot,
To guide me along the way.
You've given me a lot.
Much more than I can ever say.
...
