Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Once a ball is brought,
To the top of a hill.
Expecting it to stay,
Where it is placed to sit.
...

This may be difficult for you.
And others too.
Viewing life,
Detached and from a comfortable distance.
...

The same thing.
Over and over again.
Nothing changes.
The same thing.
...

Those proud and accepting,
Of their true identity.
Are seldom found or seen protesting,
The effective contributions made...
...

How can we co-exist.
As inhabitants of a World,
Constantly changing.
...

More these days are snoopers probing.
Like old maids,
Plucking hairs off chins.
And watching to peep,
...

-Taught to be a man.
As best as a man can be.-

She alone could not raise them.
...

Mmmm...
Tastefully flavored.
Is today's rage.
Not too spicy.
...

I didn't want it.
You did.
And when it was given to you,
You gave it away.
...

I am not an advocate,
Of any politician.
Be they Republican, Democrat.
Libertarian or Independent.
...
