Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The only abilities they have and reflect,
Is administering a blinded selfishness.
They argue this in denial,
By protesting that their rights...
...

Do you want more?
I've got it to give.
I was that kid...
Compared to those of 'influence'
...

It is easy to discredit
Those who have made names for themselves.
Despite the backbiting and the envy concealed by some.
Something childish we 'might' have all once done!
...

Can anyone believe,
Truth can float
In oil slickened waters?
Tattered and standing on rafts,
...

A lie told,
Is never loyal
To the one who tells it!
It comes back to bite.
...

Viciously they fight themselves.
As if these attacks,
Will bring back a lack of integrity.
Or erase the affects of their greed.
...

They Lust!
Don't let them fool you.
Under that self righteous,
'Holier-than-thou' veneered exterior...
...

Babysitting emotions,
Of those of aging rusty butts...
Does not set well with my adult outlook.
Since I know what it takes,
...

Those of childish minds,
I had to sever and leave behind.
They no longer fed my views of life.
I had been hatched from adolescence,
...

Do not mistake this love you see.
It is not yours to abuse like a piece of property.
Keep it respected,
And it will not neglect.
...
