Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If a need wished and wanted,
Has come to be granted...
To the one that is fed,
Those standing by...
...

When that time comes,
For anyone to be alone with it done...
To reflect.
With the putting of one's life,
...

With maintained concerns to keep,
Pretentions kept for many as a relief...
Something undetected comes along,
That leaves a deluded society breathless.
...

Demonstrated love,
Can never be replaced...
By divisions of religions,
Political affliations...
...

Who are they to leap,
With a receiving of recognition...
They did not earn to achieve?
And yet they sit in positions to get,
...

Much is going on in everyone's WORLD.
Deaths of close friends.
Those near death.
Those financially upset.
...

As pretentions go,
Why be amongst the few...
To object to them?
Participate or don't.
...

Ladies and gentlemen,
We are so pleased to announce...
A successful defeating,
Of those we have picked to see fail.
...

With a giving of a freedom done,
One does to do as a choice made...
To express love or a deed,
Hoping to please another...
...

Competing to get attention,
Is such a petty position with intention to take.
With nothing left invested that is proven,
A doing of this leaves a significance that benefits another.
...
