Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Let me set something strait...
Your apology stated to me,
May ease your consciousness.
And any feelings of guilt you may carry.
...

A self-sabotaging committed,
Has to be witnessed in its effect,
To be believed.
...

Those tentacles of greed...
Have reached to squeeze,
Common sense...
From the minds of humanity.
...

You've got my loving running.
And I'm feeling dedicated,
To keep this heat succeeded.
...

You be proud.
Don't let those doubts sit,
Inside of you with ease.
Nor should you allow excuses,
...

In your mix,
You miss flavor.
With a leaving of your 'A' game.
In your mix,
...

It's too late to raid the caters.
Those who ate have scraped their plates.
With a rating of great as they ate.
...

Bad mouthing others,
Seems to be always done by those...
Who believe they are on the rise,
Of some social circuit acceptance.
...

Since I have gotten older,
And wiser with a wisdom...
That had begun to marinate in patience.
I hear and understand you,
...

Here we are!
Finally.
At level one.
