Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

It never fails.
To have that one right time,
That comes along.
For someone patient that has tolerated,
...

Cultural locusts.
Feeding on defeat to eat.
With collected and unchecked decisions.
Eroding their own future to be.
...

I'm not a politician pilot.
Flying high my constituents.
To have their minds above the clouds.
Tripping on beliefs I can deliver,
...

A few have created a devious way.
To sell to many,
That a drinking and bathing in kool-aide.
Is okay to do.
...

No one can beat it to defeat it,
If they're looking for more.
Of,
Whatever it is.
...

Mistakes to make,
By those who claim them made that way.
Become less to forgive as quickly.
Especially when one has grown older to know,
...

There are people who live openly.
To be honest and respectful to others.
With nothing to hide or secretly disguised.
But often seem to be these days,
...

Mind botched.
A hodgepodge patched.
With put together pieces.
That fit or match.
...

Give to me love.
Not abundance of your aggravation.
Love.
I've had enough of your agitation.
...

Where Are The 'Christians'.
Those self righteous quoting scriptures.
Yet allow hunger and homelessness.
Not far from their backyards.
...
