Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Easy often does it,
When one wishes to keep trust.
With a turning from a fussing,
Done and quick as if a must.
...

From you I've only heard complaints.
With divisive comments made to vocalize.
I have never gotten to get or expect,
Support from you to me to give.
...

Without persistence...
Wishes with kept dreams,
May as well be nonexistent.

Progress and its intent to move humanity forward.
Since repeated conflicts and interests in them,
Prevents a success and those hoping the best...

Although once a condition accepted and perceived to represent...
A respecting of others in an environment which restricts,
Individual expressions expected to fit...

That came to go with an appreciation done.
Each one appealed with a growth remembered.
Although the experience,

By those who lock horns in heated debates.
Often it is the repetition that feeds a need,
For people finding themselves in these positions.
...

Too many enemies,
Defended against!

Too many enemies,
...
