Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

It's not that truth is feared,
It is the cost of getting away from it
That is getting sky high.
And at todays' prices...
...

Destroyed by ambiguity.
Distrusting of self...
And disappointed by decisions.
Nothing in nature
...

They turn up the heat
To begin a more visible sweep
Of mass confusion
Created on streets urban...
...

'It's been a long time coming...
And its arrival has erased,
The agony of the wait!
This dream that has developed,
...

The nights
Keep my days in perspective.
I know what my wants and needs are.
But the interviewing process
...

May I have some of what you are feeling?
Whatever it is it makes you shine...
In a lustered glow.
Whatever it is it makes you sparkle
...

You must align yourself with reality.
Traces of you scatter in points of view,
Diminished!
Gone.
...

When ignorance becomes a way of life,
Even a questionable look
Raises an eyebrow of suspicion.
One who is new in a town with small minds,
...

We live to dream.
Inspite of opposition.
Despite of conditions
Unwarranted.
...

Who we are and our priorities?
You still have your list?
Let's make sure,
We both have the same updates!
...
