Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If you hesitate to bake it,
You or anyone will get to taste the cake.
Why is there a procrastination?
What is it you await to negotiate?
...

People love to intimidate,
Those they believe not strong.
And, people love to instigate,
A conflict that goes wrong.
...

I don't see where justice has been served.

'That's because you choose to see it,
From a limited perspective.'
...

Stop!
And compose yourself.
To know yourself 'As Is',
And...
...

So happy am I now to live,
To have a mind free.
And the pieces now connecting,
Did not come to fit...
...

I remember all your sentiments protesting.
All my simple needs and with requests met.
Now the evidence is clear,
As its ever been...
...

Why didn't they move on?
Accept reality for what it is.
Instead of paying ridiculous amounts of money,
To have their own homes torn down?
...

I've given to you all that I am.
And still you're talking,
To find a fault.
...

I have searched my soul,
With a deepness...
That is complete.
I've addressed this to confess.
...

Deposits I have made,
Throughout the years...
Without expectations,
Of receiving a dividend.
...
