Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

They don't understand the 'art' in me.
The part of me that is 'art' creativity.
The process of it can not be explained.
It's not to be intellectualized...
...

You can not walk in my shoes
And expect to achieve progress.
Nor can you look over my shoulder,
To perceive your accomplishments!
...

One's choice to follow,
The direction of growth...
Seems mentally healthier,
For one to take this approach...
...

Truth for what it is,
To examine and scrutinize...
Has left a segment,
Of a population deluded and in denial...
...

More talk is heard,
From those desiring...
Higher education.
With wishes that a common sense,
...

More people are seen out shopping,
To replace old souls for new.
And demons seeking souls to trade,
Accepted them to pawn with alibis too.
...

Keeping faith takes getting closer,
To oneself to accept.
Although so many who say they have faith,
Have yet to allow this 'awakening' to happen.
...

The bogusness of your focus shows,
It's not legit.
The bogusness of your focus shows,
It's counterfeit.
...

Hold on tightly to the reins,
Of your life.
With this done both day and night.
As if sugar cane you had,
...

Demons can never accept lessons to learn,
From those they have picked to see demeaned.
Demons love to belittle them with schemes,
With it voiced heard to others...
...
