Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Intelligence?
That has been outlawed
With common sense,
And accountability...
...

He's not the worse we've seen,
Or this Earth has experienced...
Yet!
What he's done wont be forgettable.
...

After August...
A brisk September stirs.
The changing leaves in October breezes,
Bring changes in November that occurs!
...

There is an ignorance pervading,
Here to convince...
It's part of common sense.
An ignorance marketed and sold on all fronts,
...

You may want to avoid those twilight years,
To gain any lingering compliments that may come.
But I will say this...
If you can remember 'anything' that occured in the '30's?
...

They are in the business of exchanging fantasies.
No one can argue with this direction!
It is an exhausting process too long attempted.
See them for who they are!
...

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

Those brave faced days,
Have been packed to put away.
What is felt as seen...
Is no longer emotionally,
...
