Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Why is it,
That something loved...
One enjoys to do,
Has to either be easy?
...

When people on a mission,
With motivation and incentive...
Are blocked and eventually stopped,
From making contributions...
...

On my guard and done.
To do as one,
Looking for someone special.
From amongst the ones,
...

As that old saying goes,
If one continues to pose for selfies...
A message that was texted,
To digest the importance of it...
...

Dominate my dreams you do.
To put me through,
A loving each moment of this anguish.
...

So many awakening to discover they have aged,
Can not take it upon themselves...
To embrace and face the facts.
With a holding on to keep in their minds,
...

Does a common sense to have,
Make one a staunch believer.
Common sense,
Kept to receive.
...

Kids are dopin' up,
To keep their minds numb.
With wishes to eliminate,
Capers others made.
...

Only those who keep their minds closed...
Feel penalized.
Only those who keep their minds closed,
Get bowled over.
...

Don't sit and cry until your eyes dry.
Decide to go outside to satisfy,
A life to change it whenever you wish.
A life to change and not grieve over it.
...
