Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A dignifying of a known decadence,
To adorn and dress to impress...
In a suit and tie may to many make sense.
Since...
...

Would a life lived on Mars,
Have entitlements.
And demands for benefits.
Would there be conflicts,
...

Oh. Oh. Oh...
Efficacies effective leaving,
Those who...
Feel this with emotions ceased.
...

From the moment you began to knit,
A defeating of my existence...
To ensure from where you sat,
I would hear you 'hiss'.
...

You ask...
How has my perception changed?
Over the years,
I've endured...
...

Even a fanatic,
Can not stop the dance.
Even a fanatic,
Chooses with a chance...
...

Nomatic.
And at times...
Appearing emphatically erratic.
As if aimless without a purpose to serve.
...

Whether to be acknowledged or not.
With the hopes that the hiding of it,
Behind huge camouflaged and painted drops...
To be disguised as frost bearing trees.
...

We all are a part of this eclectic mix.
Seeking with our identities,
From a diverse collection of creeds believed...
To be accepted as people; human beings.
...

Opportunities come before us,
Not to evaluate but to grasp.
Or ask from others,
If an acceptance is approved.
...
