Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A running from love done,
Doesn't stop it.
Or prevent it to come.
A running from love done,
...

There are some people,
Who love to have their tragedies...
Known to memorialized,
In documentaries shown and repeated.
...

I have been blessed,
To step upon several creative stages.
With this done to accept,
Opposition, criticism and disrespect.
...

For those who tried,
But could not stop watching...
The sinking of an aging ship,
They made frequent attempts to upgrade.
...

Based upon...
Hearsay.
With a trace of bad taste.
People are quick to place their judgement,
...

Once a patience to give is taken,
With it done to receive by anyone...
But one day goes away from tolerating,
Continued misunderstanding...
...

A negativity expressed,
To accept it spoken or said to address...
About anyone to do intentionally,
Only invites more of it to come.
...

The diseasing of greed,
Has come to the crossroads.
And mentalities deceived,
Unconsciously or not...
...

Undermining themselves,
To have done this successfully.
With envy and jealousy used as weapons...
And contradicted hypocrisies,
...

Once something is identified,
And recognized as a detriment...
One tries to hide inside with lies,
Repeatedly said as if a 'mantra'...
...
