Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Caught up in the nonsense.
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncing.

And waiting for some annoucement...
...

To acknowledge that I 'am'
Who I 'am' and in the 'now'
Of my life!
Is for me a major achievement.
...

The petty zest and zealers,
Are going to be there.
They will not be pleased,
If there is nothing to despair.
...

Did you dropp your smile?
Something is missing on your face.
And I know I haven't seen that in a while.
...

These gifts we've been blessed with,
Are not ours to keep.
To receive in selfish hoarding.
We must deliver them,
...

I am proud to be selected,
To be your leader.
However...
You 'are' going to fix what is broken.
...

Those today who speak selfishly,
About their issues...
Are further away in pointless distance.
...

Go ahead...
'Mess' with me!
This I wish,
With invitation I allow.
...

At one time,
He was rumored to be unqualified.
Not only is he qualified...
He puts others to shame.
...

No interests do I have,
To revive useless concepts.
The time was ripe when they were fresh.
And your acceptance of them now,
...
