Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Blocked?
Don't let that stop you.
If it is meant to be...
You will touch and reach,
...

Never become discouraged...
By a lack of encouragement,
You feel is deserved.
Do what you know is best for you.
...

What school of thought
Best describes your current slide,
Into a slow motioned destitution?
A pinch of bittersweetness is not so bad?
...

Who really is the one being manipulated?
The one who awaits the deception,
Not to publicly acknowledge it when it's done?
Or the one preparing the deed believing what is done...
...

You don't care where it comes from.
Nor does a hint or clue,
Interest you.
Although it has come to confront...
...

Based upon intelligence,
And the presence of it shown.
There is very little evidence,
That those professing to have it...
...

I just love to mess with you!
The only thing I dislike,
Is the smell you claim I leave
Each time you disagree with me.
...

Well...
You can look at it this way...
If he is not elected,
Times ahead are going to get a whole lot worse.
...

Have I come back with the same rap to unpack?
Perhaps.
Will I be uncouth expressing not a hint of tact?
You can count on that!
...

More tit and less tat for that.
That tat needs to step back.
Unwinding it,
Does not sit too well,
...
