Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

'Even when to them done,
People still do not get the message.'

Trying to play catch up,
...

Looking up and down the street,
Before one goes across...
May save one's life without the strife.
And prevent paying a cost.
...

Let it be known.
I declare everyone ignoring my wishes,
To be immediately isolated.
With not another cent coming from me.
...

Having an interest to understand something,
Makes it easier to comprehend.
And that understanding wanted increases to flourish,
With a nourishing that heals and mends.
...

When a mold has been broken,
It is difficult to replace its status.
Since the achitect needed,
To re-create the blueprint...
...

I am the first to sympathize,
With those wishing not to see...
Their dirty laundry dragged into the open,
So publicly for it to be seen on the streets.
...

Believe nothing.
Especially if,
A repeated running into a brick wall...
Has yet to cement its purpose.
...

Everybody wants to know,
Why...
Things today,
Seem incredibly impossible.
...

I have been where you are.
And to repeatedly return...
To support your steps,
With motivated encouragement...
...

A faithful presence kept within,
Isn't in need of outside intervention.
Or someone to assess the depth of it.
...
