Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Some may claim that fortune and fame,
Are goals to reach and to maintain.
But possessing of a good health,
Is better than impressing people with wealth.
...

They selected one who best,
Represented their beliefs...
In the governing of them and their policies
As a reflection of The Almighty God.
...

They are going to win back,
Their redundancy.
And discover who the failures,
Really are.
...

Education takes more,
Than studying to apply...
What has been written in books.
Or a selection of pre-requisites,
...

It is what it is!
If an honesty wanted is wished to be witnessed.
And regardless if facts are pushed aside to 'diss',
With a purpose to prevent that by those who deny...
...

Entrenched in indifferences.
And tossed about by negative opinions.
With a decision to make,
As to who best represents them...
...

In full and undenied exurberance,
They came from out of the woodwork...
Displaying their abilities,
To charge with credit given...
...

She's a grown woman.
And for me the believing of it,
Seemed to have happened...
As I kept her in my mind for a very long time,
...

That fatal realism you accept would not exist,
If...
You,
Had opened up your eyes.
...

Pretentions seldom correct mistakes.
Often it takes a facing of them,
To admit they exist.
...
