Lawrence S. Pertillar Voices Poems

If you want to try out new adventures,
And not be censored...
By those peeping through a wall.
If you want to try out new adventures,
...

You have a choice,
To go it alone.
You have a choice,
To ignore and not listen.
...

More annoying become those,
With their raised voices.
After decades of choosing a choice,
Of remaining silent in compliance...
...

Those able and capable of making decisions,
Are already prepared to be blamed for them.
Since those who take positions,
To find hiding places as is their custom...
...

Do the fresh voices heard,
Enhance to inspire...
The encouragement of higher consciousness?
Deceit can not seem to smother.
...

Deaf to voices,
Other than their own ingrown...
Patronizes a tension.
And seeks imbalanced attention.
...

Conservative voices,
Are better heard in the desert.
Pick one.
It doesn't matter which!
...

So welcomed are those of fresh voices,
Giving points of view...
From new avenues,
And unsubdued by aging thought.
...

Listen to their arguments.
And their justification,
To seeth within with pent up anger.
And you will hear the voices,
...

Those today who speak selfishly,
About their issues...
Are further away in pointless distance.
...

Come along.

'I don't want to go that way.
I am not familiar with it.'
...
