Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Blatant disrespect accepted to tolerate,
Leads to an escalation of other outrageous behavior...
Too many ignored with a hope it is a phase,
That will from them will fade.
...

After lessons have been taught...
Step aside and take pride.
There is nothing else anyone can teach,
That increases a comprehension...
...

The greatest discovery one can find,
Is the doing of their own thing.
With a doing that comes to occupy the mind.
And to do it done not to express what it is,
...

Running to escape to get away?
Who is it and what,
Does the chasing?

When you say you've got to get away,
...

The teaching of hatred and conflict,
Does not end with a flip of a switch.
The teaching of hatred to divide produces,
An increase of conflict...
...

If a doing to be done is not at one's best,
What point does one make...
To believe a doing of one's mediocrity,
If one is conscious of it with this known...
...

Nobody ever can be better than you.
Unless you express this and confess.
Nobody ever can be better than you.
Unless you address this and with regret.
...

Within 28 days,
They will squeeze in reasons...
To celebrate those who sacrificed,
Their lives in the doing to prove...
...

It's difficult to drop to stop,
What's out of control.
Once it goes downhill,
It slips too fast from a grasp...
...

Those who repeatedly rely upon immature techniques,
With expectations to receive the same results achieved...
Are those who can be found weeping in disbelief,
To discover few have tolerance...
...
