Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Unfortunately,
I did not have a life...
Edited to block out reality.
Or protect my steps to prevent,
...

Many living inside their boxes,
Peek.
Not realizing dust collects,
Under their feet.
...

You see,
I think you and I are not communica...

'Will that be light, medium or dark roast? '
...

You can not evict me!
I have a BA degree.

'AND...
...

Why aren't you paying them any attention?

'Who? '
...

Greed, theft and genocide.

'No.
That is incorrect.
...

What makes dirt dumpers think,
That where one chooses to live...
Associate with,
Go, eat and drink...
...

They will welcome you.
And shower you with accolades.
You will feel embraced and accepted.
UNTIL...
...

I too have learned to develop,
Kept and precious protected preferences.
And if it seems I am less interested,
In the repeating of visiting a past...
...

If people were not afraid to walk away,
From the feeding of greed...
And their false pretensions made,
To impress their neighbors...
...
