Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

There are quite a few,
Wanting to be accepted.
For the people they have become.
As if they have been annointed,
...

Don't let anyone,
Chase your faith away.
Don't let anyone,
Chase your faith.
...

Steps taken with commitment made.
Is a task one welcomes.
To remain that way.
Regardless of what is sacrificed.
...

It pays to remain updated.
To the rapid changes.
Coming today that are being made.
Gone is stability.
...

A kept ignorance to validate it.
Is most difficult to assess.
Or make known of it to address.
Especially when the mindset,
...

I wanted to be.
Whatever you wished,
From me to see.
And in time I tried.
...

No one should be made to feel,
Their life to live...
Is an obligation,
To appease someone's insecurities.
...

It takes a lot of patience,
To adapt and adopt a new process.
Few are born to know what to do,
Before graduating.
...

That cuckoo that you got.
Got to get up and go.
Take that cuckoo that you've got,
Away from me and out the door.
...

The less sense sense to have is,
More seem to become offended.
With their senselessness to defend.
How common having none of it has become.
...
