Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Personal messages to get.
Seldom go unremembered of it.
Until one is reminded,
Of an event they had missed.
...

Today.
The only caring people show,
And have to express.
Are their first impressions to make.
...

Observe it to know.
Those who do not live life to grow.
Slow that process for themselves.
With it to others to let it show.
...

With blatant ignorance they defend.
Their own undermining from within.
And caught up in division.
A division without end.
...

Whomever it is,
With kept beliefs they have rights.
To ignite fights and start wars.
As if to wish to destroy themselves.
...

Making attempts to reason,
With one confined to a childish mind.
And blinded by ego.
Limited to an insecurity,
...

What power is that one claims to have.
If those who question their support of it.
Are cast aside to demean and minimize.
By one indecisive.
...

Inevitable.
That sound of a ticking clock.
Heard to not avoid.
The tick tock of it.
...

I may not be,
The brightest candle to shine.
On a cake with other candlesticks on it.
Nor am I the only one,
...

No one inspired,
Has hired their desire.
Or commits to a task.
To then ask from another,
...
