Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

It is refreshing to realize,
After Sunset has gone.
And before the light of dawn,
Arrives to appear.
...

No one is blessed with life to get,
Almost close to live it.
Those with dreams wished,
Either go for them or they don't.
...

When I met truth,
I pretended I had already accepted,
It to know.
Until one day it insisted,
...

Anyone who has inherited,
A privileged life to live...
Without coming into contact,
To know the meaning of sacrifice.
...

Death has come,
To a once political correctness.
And the acceptance of proper, Outdated etiquette.
...

On the road of my travels,
Many obstacles I have come to face.
Not one did I fear to be chased,
Away.
...

Sometimes a choice to make,
Doesn't seem to be the best one.
Until that time comes to realize,
How effective it was to choose...
...

Everyone has been heard.
And many feel undeserving,
Of the unexpected outcome.
That upsets a protected,
...

Tears to weep,
For more than a few decades wept.
Should with time given,
Have many find reason and purpose...
...

Don't choose to fret.
Over those upsetting,
The gains you've earned.
As they add more heat.
...
