Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Keep this in mind...
I wear my sox,
And tie my shoes.
Do you?
...

Degrading others is part of their culture...
Part of what they believe makes them great.
Ignorance and greed is served to these vultures...
Feeding and spreading it and they are quite pleased.
...

You have no idea what is behind these eyes!
Because they may be enclosed,
Within an approachable package...
Some may accept or oppose.
...

We can not jeopardize our gains.
However...
We can sure maximize our losses.
And at any cost!
...

You've got to pray.
Whatever you're doing,
Drop it!
Stop and pray.
...

I read and re-read Romans twelve.
Until it casted a spell.
And I saw myself,
And others like me.
...

She may be tough,
With the right stuff.
But those viewing from afar...
Aren't quite ready,
...

Perhaps it is the maturing,
That takes hold.
A realization that a next phase nears.
I have no lapses in time...
...

Where are You?
Your presence is felt
And my faith keeps You near.
It is clear that I am watched
...

Sacrifice and Faith are my friends!
From the very beginning,
They made their presence known!
...
