Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Swift, unexpecting...
Life changes made.
Unscheduled to prepare...
For them to come.
...

Who could be left still admitting,
A defending of acts.
Performed by disaster masters.
...

There is something to admire,
About someone...
Conscious and competently aware,
Of the facts.
...

With attention to listen,
And kept focused upon...
To perform this,
Like never before.
...

When made obvious.
And clear as a bell to hear it.
That common sense is missing.
Comprehension has been long absent,
...

Today...
In these ever changing.
Inflicting diseasing epidemic days.
Not even the likes of Shakespeare,
...

Chipped away everyday.
Sympathy and empathy to give it.
Emotions to have.
Slipping from an awareness.
...

Critical listening.
With a doing done,
To listen critically.
Normally excused by many to do,
...

Listen to me.
Carefully.
From this day forward,
I will override any decision made...
...
