Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The only thing that has been consistent,
Is the inconsistency.
And the irrelevance to what is relevant...
As more of what 'is' Is smoked screened.
...

It's the season of cabin fever.
And tempers flair...
To heat up.
When the snow begins to dropp a lot.
...

She has 'it'!
But what is 'it'...
That everyone admits,
Is hip?
...

My grandmother,
Was not into calling her children
By nicknames.
In fact she once said to my sister...
...

I no longer hold you like I held you
When I held you...
I no longer want to...in my mind.
I no longer see you like I see you
...

What being unforgiving does?
It destroys!
Just like the spread,
Of uncurable cancer.
...

For the record.
Let this today,
Be expressed.
...

Each day to be witnessed,
There are those who make attempts...
With their efforts to do the right thing.
And with a doing not to expect,
...

I have learned,
Not to expect the getting of respect...
From those seeking first to be impressed.
Especially when many perceive success,
...

I believe there has been a misunderstanding.
No one yet has been talking about taking your wealth...
And giving that to someone else.
Those are fear tactics over used!
...
