Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Feeling a bit threatened,
By those proclaiming preferences?
Only to then become offended,
When you have been omitted...
...

And...
What is so funny?
Do you know 'where' you are?
...

There is a certain meaning to it.
For people who are born to do this.
It's not on the surface to depict.
With an easy category to assign to it.
...

I am 'not' going to say anything,
About 'anyone' and their insecurities.
It is pointless to keep harping upon them,
When those who have them are clearly possessive.
...

If one has spent,
A lifetime of feeding upon nonsense...
With an unquestioned defending of it,
Difficult will it be...
...

A façade created,
To establish interest
Does not attract.
No matter what innovations stated,
...

It often amazes,
How literal interpretations given...
By those who are clueless,
Can be accepted with a teaching as fact.
...

There is nothing more exhilarating,
Than being in an environment...
Of children raising children,
And none of them are nourished...
...

No matter what one sees,
To compare with belief...
You alone can conceive with a receiving,
What it is in your life...
...

Fulfilled with an intention meant,
Is all that it takes...
For one to initiate happiness and joy.
