Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Times then were lived,
Within our means.
We valued being clean.
Respected as expected.
...

Gifts you were given are gone.
What did you do that was wrong.
Did you sit with your gifts to drift...
In a mind where they didn't stay long!
...

Obstructionists!
Unphased.
Mentally sick...
Delusionists.
...

They want deregulation done by government.
But from their mouths they shout and say,
They want the government away.
...

Let's take a 'trip' over the border.
And spread our wings quick,
With unlimited ease.
To fly above what others believe...
...

If all my needs were multipled,
I'd still find a reason,
To lay in a helpless restlessness.
Yet feeding sleeplessly...
...

Where is the relevance?
One once connected and applied,
To a life making more not less sense.
For those who believed...
...

They want to see,
That bling side for them to begin.
With a start for them that has no end.
And hoping their lives,
...

You are correct.
I could not agree with you more.

I have not been in touch with you.
...

I promise not to let,
The left step go...
Not too far to the left.
Or be bothered by right at all.
...
