Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

For fun
They ruined the happiness for some.
Believing an accomplishment
To them would come!
...

When truth becomes a negative aspect,
Of one's reality.
And it solicits unwarranted snide remarks?
Danger is embraced!
...

So much of my life
Has little of you in it!
For you to insist
Your role is larger than that...
...

Here it is, March!
Almost near the middle of the year,
Of 2015.
Twenty-fifteen?
...

When the time comes...
And an emotion invites a tear?
Let that 'thing' drop.
Don't stop it!
...

Diversity is sought...
And thought could exist!
But those wishing to practice it...
Seek to administer it to adhere
...

Would you like one of my brain cells,
To verify I am of independent thought?
Since you believe I must be programmed,
To produce every word to you I've brought.
...

The way was not paved!
But called.
Unafraid as thunder clapped.
Without thought of bravery.
...

That we live encouraged,
To acknowledge and grow...
Is important.
...
