Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

From the moment we met...
The feelings I had for you,
Have not left.
...

It would be wonderful to be able to predict,
One man elected can fix the lives of those troubled.
And he'd be held accountable...
As he applied a magic wand to it!
...

A phoniness expressed,
By those you consider friends...
Goes unaddressed.
...

It will be midnight for many,
Soon.
Dawn for some will come.
And for those unable to differentiate,
...

The only thing I want is something real.
Not to satisfy a taste,
That silences a quickened whim.
But comes to quiet...
...

Do I want this?
Or is it needed?
Do I wait until a craving demands?
Or do I resist...
...

I disagree.
You do have a choice.
Either you do it as requested.
Or...
...

More money is spent,
Advertising nonsense.
Than there is right now...
Documented in our government!
...

To raise a debate,
Over who is better qualified
To be a pallbearer at a burial,
Will not revive the hopes...
...

You'd be foolish to think,
I share with you what I have
To boost an ego wish!
...
