Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

They wish not to politicize their mess.
Although each step taken,
To get them where they are...
Was done through a vote of confidence!
...

Help me understand,
What I am having trouble comprehending.

For years I have been labelled a fool...
...

You took this too far.
Too easy you thought it would be.
And giving your victory speech prematurely.
Only to find me,
...

When at first I was introduced to it...
I must admit,
I felt bare and naked.
...

If you want to wear those shoes,
Put them on.
There is no agreement of purposes,
In the first place.
...

'Mister Pertillar,
Based upon your 'experience'...
What makes you qualified,
To fly a 747? '
...

Let's be honest about this.
The one true enemy we have,
Is our self obsession.
...

Please do not dismiss me.
Or the approach,
I have chosen to get closer.
I am not professional at this.
...

Those ungrateful,
And living to inflict sins upon one another...
Are soon to discover,
Much more than just discomfort.
...

South Padre Island,
Ranks among the best.
South Beach,
And those along Key West...
...
