Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I do not judge what I observe,
I AM a product of my environment.
And those who cease to accept,
The origins of their foundations...
...

I make attempts to walk away.
Even turning my head...
In other directions.
With the taking of deep breaths.
...

The longer the battle,
The less credible the fighting...
That is fought.
Unconscious steps taken begin to awaken.
...

Time and space is relative,
Depending on how close...
We regard the association.
And how the togetherness is spent,
...

I have sought to seek,
No personal purpose...
To brag about efforts,
The Creator has blessed me...
...

No time should anyone today take,
For horse play, hide and seek.
Or slick mind games to undermine,
Not today.
...

I have seen you,
In your best of days.
And I have seen you also display,
Very couthless and ruthless ways.
...
