Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I don't leave it to chance,
In the hopes my wishes and dreams come true.
I don't leave it to chance,
In the hopes my desires...
...

It has become somewhat of a ritual.

'What has? '
...

Pish with no posh.
And scoop up the puppy poop.

'Huh?
...

I 'use' to be the one,
To advocate with a doing done...
Of making great strides.
With an inviting others to do the same.
...

Only those impaired with tunneled vision,
And blinded without hindsight...
Depth or introspection,
To prove they are not inept...
...

Publicly I take this opportunity,
To apologize to PoemHunter.com for submitting a poem...
I recently had written that was depicted as offensive,
With sexual content that is opposed to their guidelines.
...

Are we in the same 'thang' to maintain gains,
Or...
Are we just,
Reaching for a peace.
...

People refer to a documented constitution,
When they wish their entitlements...
To be upheld and defended.
But a respect given,
...

Monuments are just monuments.
And a defacing of them,
When and wherever it happens...
They can be cleaned to be restored again.
...

More POP is the culture.
Given more significance to it meant.
And getting more POP is a culture,
Feasting on decadence.
