Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I disagree.
You do have a choice.
Either you do it as requested.
Or...
...

More money is spent,
Advertising nonsense.
Than there is right now...
Documented in our government!
...

...and you, sir?
Your opinion of Sarah?

'Sarah who? '
...

To raise a debate,
Over who is better qualified
To be a pallbearer at a burial,
Will not revive the hopes...
...

You'd be foolish to think,
I share with you what I have
To boost an ego wish!
...

I trusted to know what love was when it came.
I thought I was prepared...
And aware of it!
I knew in my heart,
...

To those who value it...
Life becomes more precious,
When the thought of death and its permanence...
Comes to be not so distant,
...

Bailout?
A prolonged stimulus,
Packaged to delay...
A masked betrayal.
...

...and,
When you are left in contemplation of the error...
Of how you perceive other people to be,
Maybe then,
...

I do not wonder why,
Things are the way they are.
They are the way they are!
And I don't wonder why.
...
