Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A proving to me there is a lesson I need,
You assume with the taking of the position...
I eventually will learn from A to Z.
There is one thing missing,
...

Taking in hand a pen to write,
But not knowing where to begin...
Or start with a seeking,
For a meaning that completes...
...

I have come to realize,
That those I see today with their eyes closed...
Are not in denial at all.
Nor have they isolated themselves to meditate.
...

You have been a witness,
To my ministry.
My 'calling'.
...

Stand back and analyze,
Why truth is out of sight.
And,
Stand back to wonder...
...

Ignorance 'is' and can be bliss,
For those who leave reality and truth...
To the ones who choose to argue over,
Which delusions should be kept or dismissed...
...

Coming out of a protective darkness,
Can be an emphatically traumatic experience...
For those who have lived,
Effectively disguised falsified lives.
...

Roleplays are fading,
From minds finding a typecasting...
Picked to fit and please expectations,
Done comfortably yesterday to be erased.
...

Whatever goes around you that drops...
Don't dare to pick it up,
Unless you see a value.
...

While earning the life I live,
With a knowing what I wanted...
From the time I had been depicted,
As a strange and weird little kid...
...
