Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I wish there had been an awakening,
When that first dawn came.
Like most,
I slept right through it.
...

To succeed for many,
Is a need to see...
An obvious public repetition done,
Of someone feeding greed.
...

Do not become fooled or tricked by them.
The ones who talk of both fear and sin.
Their way of observing life may be coming to its end.
But this Universe is full of abundance.
...

Where does one go...
To 'not' take those risks,
That ultimately benefit?
Every aspect of what life truly is.
...

Where are those,
Pure of heart.
Loving of justice.
Courageous and brave.
...

The best way to teach,
Fools that can not be reached...
Who stay stubbornly out of touch.
Walk away!
...

You can push that bitter bash back.
You can push that bitter bash back.
You can push that bitter bash back.
Don't put any pity in a bitter bashed bag.
...

It is easy to pick up and leave,
For...
Those places envisioned in one's mind,
That are traveled and far away.
...

I have all the support I need...
For those weaknesses upon me that feed.

I wish an acceptance for my strengths!
...

When people can not accept direction...
They live their lives in denial and rejection.
And it is difficult to remove from them...
A mindset they within live in!
...
