Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Giving advice,
Yet reluctant to take it.
From those who have experienced,
The same mistakes to make.
...

Questions asked.
By those born and raised,
In the fast advancing technology age.
...

More to us is done.
To understand.
What it is we do,
Is in our hands.
...

Fear. Grief. Suffering and pain.
Seems to be,
A global human experience.
Needing no language interpreter,
...

When someone is mainly,
Focused upon greed.
And materialism to live and breathe it.
With a dismissing,
...

Those who had been seeking,
Peace of mind for years to find.
And had found it to have earned.
At one time were thought to be,
...

Changes to make,
Can be sudden and abrupt.
Leaving many unprepared.
Dazed and awe strucked.
...

Unnecessary.
The expanding of panic.
To have had the scent of it,
Avoided to implement...
...

There is nothing more,
That calms and brings relief.
Than someone who speaks,
Decisively with competence.
...

No longer unbelievable,
How lies to tell can bring eyes to cry.
No longer unbelievable,
How fast they are told faster to deny...
...
