Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Whether you get it from me or not...
You 'are' going to get it.
I know you would rather I be someone else.
Perhaps someone you have dealt with before.
...

Our interests have been,
In the support of our common greed.
Anyone now upset,
About the direction our government has set...
...

There is more!
Much much more,
Of this to come.
More than you may welcome.
...

Do or don't...
Whatever!
Your participation now,
Is neither welcomed or embraced.
...

Quote he does...
From those who lived in 1779!
In town meetings held,
To enthrall those captured...
...

I feel fantastic!
How long will that last?
Until...
Well,
...

In a world
Where those of 'progress'
Have benefitted
From lives eroding in degradation.
...

All of my life I had observed those,
Who sacrificed...
In the pursuit of their dreams.
And doing what it took,
...

Let me bring you up to date,
And clarify that notion...
What you 'assume' for you,
Is not too late to do.
...
