Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

So many are feeling hostile.
And kept to feel hostage.
With a doing to have allowed,
A given of permission to commit to this.
...

Misdeeds seem to come easily to inflict.
When some perceive,
A position they have been given...
Not to earn.
...

Unique and different times.
Take unique and thinking minds.
Together.
To find progressive ways to leave behind,
...

Gone to take with them incentive.
And motivation.
Betrayed and taken for granted.
Also is an interest to have had,
...

Refrain from being down,
With the smell and stench of b.s.
There is nothing to be inspired about it.
Leave it where it is.
...

One with an eagerly massaged ego boosted,
By those aggravating aggressively.
And cheering behind the scenes.
Show no concern about losing their integrities.
...

What is appealing to the greedy,
Has yet pleasured to please...
The ones in need.
While impeccably dressed thieves,
...

Not a day goes by,
Without it beginning...
Fresh with each day,
To brighten a night darkened sky.
...

To defend a craze.
In minds long gone.

So ludicrous today's madness.
...

Whether like it or not,
We're in a common bond.
As human beings.
In a common bond.
...
