Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Adopting to adapt,
And accept responsibility...
In this day and age is courageous.
And is not the same,
...

We have allowed a con to go on.
With hopes a duping will uncover the truth.
We have allowed a con to go on.
To find the humor in it to be produced.
...

The dictates of proper etiquette and taste,
Has narrowed to appease...
A few in positions who decide what they like,
To dismiss what they perceive to be offensive.
...

Who do they think 'they' are?
Dumping their garbage,
In someone else's backyard?
And to do this without getting our permission?
...

As a narrative to not expose with a doing kept,
To keep undisclosed to conceal facts hidden...
To deliberately replace them to elaborate,
On that which isn't...
...

Anyone can elect to be whomever they wish.
They can do this in campaigns,
Or in a gathering of forums conducted...
To convince others of like minds,
...

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,
...

Most have lived to pick their choices,
Throughout their lives.
Whether enjoyed to like or hated,
These decisions were made and consciously.
...

What are you doing?

'Pushing buttons.
It should be obvious.'
...
