Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Even blueprints to create,
Are not easy to create them.
With a cementing to intend,
The exploring of new adventures.
...

People will come,
To make a difference.
And leave,
To make a difference.
...

What had been wished to keep concealed,
Now revealed to accept...
Has some with their eyes wide.
And many others out of breath.
...

Incitement invited to arouse excitement,
To stir up and ignite an irritation wished...
Just for the doing of producing it.
Only leaves those believing there is a benefit,
...

To give is to receive.
Yet the giving does not guarantee,
A getting with it given in return to expect.
Especially if one believes,
...

I sought many years ago,
To stop thinking of myself...
As one I should first please and pleasure.
Although this admission,
...

You can't juggle to then dribble balls,
To do it all.
Juggling to dribble all the balls.
...

Without fortune I feel a freedom.
A freedom unrestricted,
That allows my creative spirit...
Room to explore.
...

2016 brings with it more meaning.
As things to possess become less valued.
Lives lost to greed for the purpose to receive,
An attention to get to impress others to accept...
...

People accustomed to rely on 'guardians',
They have annointed to protect them...
From the effects of reality,
Will always discover themselves upset...
...
