Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Only those without a clue,
Seeking with wishes...
For fortune and fame,
To obtain recognition and attention to get...
...

Minds reset on negative investments,
Should not, but do...
Expect positive returns.
...

Attitudes are switching swiftly,
From obsessions to possess...
'Things' to acquire,
For a more desireable purpose to get.
...

We can prevent,
A doing to have others suffer.
To prevent...
Denying how hatred is made.
...

Whoever decided,
People will pay to stay...
Where historic myths exist,
And a quality of life...
...

I use to sympathize,
With a giving of my undivided empathy...
To the ones who made claims,
They had been picked to victimize.
...

Without dreams to wish,
With them hoped to get...
What would be the purpose,
Of anyone wanting to achieve...
...

Only those shallow.
And depending upon a hollowness to fill,
Have never felt connected to an identity.
Or a dignity known that is real.
...

It's difficult to keep,
A truth to smother hidden.
As if to be forbidden,
From minds to have it ridden.
...

Who better paints the canvas,
With qualified strokes.
And expertise to enhance a romancing,
An advancement of a work of art...
...
