Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

It is all in the open now!
And I hope you are not feeling,
Too ridiculous.
...

We sit and wish to free ourselves,
From the ease to fall into the grips of lamenting.
Part of life is to be shakened up a bit emotionally.
And that is the only sense we can not transfer.
...

Why are the people horrified?
And running about as if panicked?

'They are trying to find places to hide.
...

In today's society,
People are seldom happy...
Unless the ruining of someone else's life,
Has come to enhance a feeling of self worth.
...

A rushing done to be accountable today...
Leaves 'what' to be influenced?
An attention to get?
Or is it a wish to be thought of as responsible?
...

Increasing flame!

We've got to let it go.
We've got to let it go.
...

If you're deep up in it,
It's all good.
And every minute that you give it,
It's all good.
...

On my way to feeling lost and blue...
I remembered what you said,
About inviting dread.
...

People have become too complacent.
With a caring not to listen.
Or a caring done to comprehend!
Believing a sleepwalk exercised...
...

You seek direction!
That's what you claim to need.
And you want to stay clear...
Of a negativity that teases and schemes.
...
