Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A choice to abuse those refusing to choose,
To use darkness to undo love...
Will bring these doers someday into broad daylight.
...

You can not blame a fool...
For wishing to expose,
Learned skills and acquired talents.
...

Some folks achieve notoriety,
Based upon the quantity of their work.
Not as a result of the quality...
That can be observed.
...

Burdened is the one who knows truth.
An isolation occurs,
One has the nerve to adjust to and accept.
With little delusion left to live.
...

Take.
To leave nothing...
If you will.
...

Are we up?
Down.
Or in the middle?
...

I dropped my draws!
And instantly...
We did not care,
Where they were!
...

Sorry...
I'm not here to provide,
A lesser intelligence.
One that establishes an ignorance,
...

This magic we hold...
Comes from deep 'withinside' of us.
The moment our hearts began to beat...
That magic of life,
...

You must go inside now,
Children.
The hour of play has come to an end.
A fresh awareness of life begins.
...
