Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I believe there has been a misunderstanding.
No one yet has been talking about taking your wealth...
And giving that to someone else.
Those are fear tactics over used!
...

You came,
When the trees began their budding.
You came,
With the Spring to start your buzzing.
...

Why should I lower my expectations,
To accomodate someone else's incompetence?
Why should I accept mediocrity...
Because that's the highest the bar has been risen.
...

They're not here to revisit,
The gaslamp.
They're not living to revisit,
Those cobblestone roads.
...

We must fight...
With a resistance,
Against the darkness.
...

Travel on!
My brothers.
Travel on...
My sisters, fathers, mothers.
...

Sugar snap peas,
I plant thy rods.
To enable your journey...
With tentacles to grab tight.
...

Under the shadow of those shallow,
They follow.
Loyal and addicted.
A sickness they have lived with.
...

Strength in leadership,
And commitment to rhetoric...
As the dollar value slips.
Leaving harder times to come and exist!
...

Why do some camels have two humps,
And others one?

'That's a good question!
...
