Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The best advice ever given to someone,
Was probably solicited.
With a promise not to become offended,
When the decision was made to deliver it.
...

A divide quickly sliding,
To leave behind a limited consciousness...
With a lighting to dawn,
Upon that which had hid in darkness...
...

From which side are those with kept delusions,
Would 'they' say are most difficult to view?
Those on the side witnessing their values diminished,
By the ones they've entrusted to keep them endeared?
...

Preying on...
Minds that remain unconnected.
And a preying on these vacancies accepted.
Yes,
...

More than your silver,
And gold.
And...
More than those diamonds,
...

Your modesty has started,
And it's something I now feel...
Comes from your heart.
Deep it is and it is real.
...

There are those who were born,
Knowing intuitively who they are.
With an attraction they could not avoid.
And eventually it became...
...

The only ones that can see what does not exist,
And prevent others from succeeding...
To accuse them of being something they insist,
Is the reason and cause for a production of failures...
...

There will always be those who choose to see life,
From their point of view.
And not necessarily from their own experiences.
As many feeling entitled excuse themselves to do.
...

The importance placed upon appearances,
Only affects the mindset of those...
To effect with less progress made,
In the taking of steps to adventure.
...
