Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Not gonna deal with the BS no more.
Or with the dirt left at my front door.
No more, no more, no more...
No more, no more!
...

For the betterment of humanity.
Not greed are we here!
We are to exceed temptations allowed to breed.
Not to curse those who bleed,
...

You wished me well.
And peace released in my life,
For me to tell.
With good health and prosperity,
...

Their values are gone and their minds have cracked.
Every belief taught that they've had...
Has unraveled with the dollar,
And that's a fact.
...

Here it is two thousand and nine.
And you are still finding things to complain about...
While you sit, sip on soft drinks
And gossip on your behind!
...

A novelty.
A thing.
A commodity.
Something thought to be without feeling.
...

Whether it is known or not,
Doesn't really matter...
Does it?
Who has been affected the most?
...

I'm wanting more to see you less.
And yet I know this isn't best.
Because my heart gets much upset...
To think you might find someone new.
...

I am not surprised you do not know me.
For years our conversations have been about you.
Your likes and dislikes.
Your cravings and appetites.
...

When people hide behind deceptions...
As if they are walls of cement.
These are the folks who do not realize...
Their lies have fenced them inside mentalities,
...
