Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I am no stranger.
I have watched you.
Closer than most.
To both observe and feel,
...

Truth to live and experience,
What it is to feel and know.
Is a personal journey.
Not to be told about it.
...

Your tongue!

"And...
What about 'my' tongue?
...

Changed allegations.
With updated suspicions to make.
Has lessened the need,
To provide truth and its evidence.
...

Long after chapters to live.
With more to come.
Unknown from where new ones begin.
None will be skipped over.
...

Is life to be blessed,
And bestowed to experience...
The wonders to share them,
From views that are different.
...

It should come to no one's surprise.
There are many living in denial.
And thriving to survive,
On everlasting told lies.
...

One's journey to take,
On a decisive path.
Done to discover alone.
And for oneself,
...

Incorporated theft,
Is a monopolizing step.
Taken to leave many left,
To believe and think...
...

We have come to live days,
Many have become afraid.
Of truth and its reality to face.
...
