Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

So many are unaware of a programming shared,
That creates their own despair.
And...
Leaving them with minds barren.
...

It is getting increasingly obvious...
The difference between,
Those who are comfortable in their skins.
And those trying to fit in,
...

Those who complain about what some do...
And leave the focusing on handling their own business,
In the hands of others...
Should be ashamed.
...

You...
Got it to keep going on.
And you...
Got it so strong.
...

Handle your own business.
With an expertise,
You keep.
And be the C.E.O. of it.
...

You wish to tie me down,
To a host of your excuses lived.
And I refuse to have any part of this.
Whether you choose to do or not,
...

Mumbled whispers,
Always find their way...
To ears focused,
On treasured nonsense...
...

Judge me all you want.
That doesn't bother me one bit.
I've already done that self examining thing.
With an assessment of every blemish I have...
...

Within this Majesticness,
Reflecting.
A presence of being...
To breathe a self examining acknowledgement,
...

Confused and duped by a cruel world.
And broken!
Until a choice is made it's better...
Accepting one's fate to lose.
...
