Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

My intentions I don't mention.
Why should I when they are performed?
And if I mentioned my intentions,
You would expect a performance...
...

The minds of those poisoned,
On both sides of the fence...
Abused and used to be victims,
To view themselves to become convinced...
...

Each step that should have been taken,
To move forward with the keeping the taste...
Of dreams and wishes for them to touch and see,
Success achieved by having the ability to recognize,
...

No one questions the exception perception has.
Even in the presence of truth with validated facts,
Perception is accepted especially if done to impress.
And truth to address is often left to be disbelieved.
...

'You are despicable and rude.
Self serving and inconsiderate.
Impossible 'and' also stubborn.'
...

There is nothing that happens,
Without reason or purpose affixed to it.
If there is repetition revolving to permit,
Without recognition that admits...
...

The flesh.
The bones.
The breath to breathe.
And the expected perfection.
...

Have you thought about this?
For every minute and second,
Of those days and nights we spent together...
You were made to believe by others,
...

Keep wants and dreams that are wished,
Updated.
And replace the ones that for you come true.
...

We are taught,
What priorities to emphasize.
We are taught,
To criticize that which is different.
...
