Lawrence S. Pertillar Caring Poems

There is a collective mindset.
An impression that rules with a limitedness.
It develops a pattern,
That implants an understanding...
...

There's many still caring,
What they believe and hear.
Who says what about them.
And who to impress and how they live.
...

You,
Were told I cheated.
And I didn't argue a bit.
Then,
...

Where is the caring done,
Anymore.
And,
In what valley?
...

Not having an ability to face truth,
When the practice of hiding behind excuses...
Has become as stale as denials still used,
Makes the mistakes made by innocent children...
...

Many are heard accusing others,
Of being thoughtless.
Selfish and uncaring.
...

Caring.
One of the last frontiers,
To visit and witness.
And sometimes for others,
...

A genuinely caring for others,
Does not take...
The convenience,
Of announcements to make.
...

If you really knew.
Knowing.
What others go through.
Showing.
...

It is easier to deceive a people fantasized.
Easy it is to sway opinion,
With something sparkling...
To dazzle the eyes,
...

I have a respect for accepted correctness.
With a doing of my best,
To give from me what is expected.
Although I must confess,
...
