Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Sometimes I wish for nothing more,
Than to repeat what had just occurred...
To relive and remember,
Until some nonsense appears...
...

A spider weaving a web,
Isn't doing it without a purpose.
Only that which gets trapped in it,
Suddenly becomes conscious...
...

The retooling of minds,
Overtime steeped to marinate...
In the comfort of nonsense.
And too much foolishness,
...

To have awakened is a good thing to be!

And I have learned,
In the many years it has taken me to do it...
That the being there for someone else,
Will not automatically be interpretated...
...

Lazy adults raised by irresponsible children,
Choosing to do what they please...
With the making of excuses encouraged as done,
Are not the ones to blame for their attitudes towards life.
...

On stilettos.
Perched.
From your tower high,
In search.
...

If there is any experience I've had in my life,
I am most proudest to have accomplished.
Would be my service to this country,
In the military!
...

In the morning when you come,
I feel the heat from you.
I go to the window to see what you do,
And...
...

People who accuse others of lieing,
When their entire lives have been based upon...
Well,
Delusional comforts!
...

Has anyone seen the elite eat beets?
Has anyone ever seen them pat their feet?

Have you ever seen them groove in seats?
...
