Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Incapable.
Of dissecting information.
Accessible.
And readily available.
...

Standing up for what is right.
Can become a hazard to one's comfort.
And despite the fight,
Standing up for what is right...
...

The last days of ignorance to celebrate,
Done to do to keep them praised.
Has finally begun,
To face the fast pace of a setting Sun.
...

Those who scrutinize others,
From the corners of their eyes.
Do not realize,
Whomever is being examined...
...

If it has been left and meant kept,
To leave behind.
And out of your mind to stay that way.
Refuse to let it be revisited.
...

Perception.
Sold to sell.
And marketed well.
Can be an unfortunate path to follow.
...

Pettiness has taken over.
Sitting more fixed and prioritized.
On the top of wishes listed.
Yet the numbness of this wish gets.
...

They only defense there is,
To protect whatever is left...
Of one's remaining sanity to know it.
Against the effect to suspect idiots.
...

Too many who pour tea.
With a slice of nonsense tasted,
On a daily basis without hesitation.
Are lost.
...

Intelligence to have with proof of truth.
And a kept honesty deceivers hate.
Does not return given salutes.
Confetti parades.
...
