Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You and I,
Should stop to see...
We are the glue.
And not merely just commodities.
...

How does it feel,
To have your realities debated?
To have your essence of your way of life...
On the precipice,
...

Please...
Spare me the wide eyed sincerity.
If you were,
As you've stated...
...

You can not be serious?

'Oh...
I am.'
...

The mind.
The body.
And every muscle,
Connected...
...

We've been extremely successful,
In isolating ourselves...
With a creation of a lifestyle,
That best reflects 'our' values and traditions.
...

Isn't it easy to accuse someone,
Who is relied upon to be accountable...
For abandoning those that take their own irresponsibility,
As belonging to the one they take for granted!
...

Until some rules to us have come,
And understood by 'everyone'...
Under the Sun,
Will there then be a need to exchange...
...

86 years old,
Today my Daddy Larry...
Would have celebrated on this day.
...

A person's worth,
Isn't in their ability...
To obtain worldly possessions.
Or in the quality of them.
...
