Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

People in hiding,
With beliefs their unspoken intentions...
'Should' be understood.
Are finding themselves,
...

What is there to understand,
About love.
What is there to understand,
About being without it.
...

What makes you think that I'm not thinking?
Or observe from experiences forced to live?
Opinions you have of me are shrinking...
Gone are negative thoughts you give!
...

You will always question my faithfulness.
I downloaded pictures...
And shared my email address.
...

Keep this in mind...
I wear my sox,
And tie my shoes.
Do you?
...

Degrading others is part of their culture...
Part of what they believe makes them great.
Ignorance and greed is served to these vultures...
Feeding and spreading it and they are quite pleased.
...

You have no idea what is behind these eyes!
Because they may be enclosed,
Within an approachable package...
Some may accept or oppose.
...

We can not jeopardize our gains.
However...
We can sure maximize our losses.
And at any cost!
...

You've got to pray.
Whatever you're doing,
Drop it!
Stop and pray.
...

I read and re-read Romans twelve.
Until it casted a spell.
And I saw myself,
And others like me.
...
