Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You've been taught to watch me.
But I am not the one,
Prepared behind You to bite.
Your eyes watch me.
...

Really?
You feel your loyalty and trust,
Has been thrown under a bus?
Purposely done to crush.
...

Nice words heard,
With an acceptance...
Of them spoken.
Are not always the best words,
...

Delivered perfectly wrapped.
And bowed magnificently.
For the season,
Of welcomed festivities.
...

The essence of the element,
Is within us all.
Blessed to explore.
And adventure life given,
...

A choice to choose,
Refusing feeling gloomy.
Is easier to say than it to do.
In these days and times,
...

Bash me with a smashing,
To smear with the best of your pitch.
But you can not erase my efforts documented.
No matter how you stir up cheers,
...

What is it you are thinking?

'I'm thinking of all the people,
Referred to as refugees.
When that hurricane Katrina,
...

Why are people discovered to be weeping,
From decisions they make to stubbornly keep?
Then to blame others to relieve themselves,
Hopefully...
...
