Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I made that time the right time to accept.
Prepared I was for rejection and neglect.
And seeking approval or attention to get,
Had not been to me offered.
...

What the younger generation,
Has been taught to believe as reality...
To objectify as a way of life to live,
With prioritized values to choose...
...

When people have become estranged,
From making attempts to comprehend others...
With a giving a reason meant for their attention given.
To know divorce from truth to consider,
...

Being conscious and aware of it,
With it quick to observe...
What one does to do to affect another,
Connects them to it and directly...
...

This phase of life today I face,
Is a remarkable experience...
To witness it as it takes place.
Unfolding as it is to have left behind regrets.
...

I live life not to apologize,
For the doing of it.
And as a work-in-progress,
No practice or time to rehearse...
...

Effective it is.
And at a cheaper expense,
To have mindsets convinced...
A suffering economically to do,
...

Among the things I had consciously done,
But discovered the stopping of doing them...
Was an opportunity to change my own attitude,
About who I would give my time and respect to.
...

Wild is the vicious wind,
Coming to descend from the heavens.
To end...
The evil doings of those wicked.
...

A healing to mend successfully,
By one who has done this alone...
With this condoned unable to prevent,
Changes one's mental attitude...
...
