Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Constipation.
Can be compared to a kept patience.
Sometimes it stays to aggravate and annoy.
Until one no longer can take,
...

...and, these are the minds,
We have prepared for the future!

The only ones unable.
...

Facing challenges and admitting mistakes made.
Is a part of life.
Many have done to achieve their peace of mind.
And there are others who find,
...

People who deceive.
As if to celebrate this joyfully.
Eventually defeat themselves.
Since those who believed,
...

Incoherently speaking.
Seems today the only way,
To get anyone to listen.
In sound bites and cheap shots to take.
...

When something is missed.
To have had dismissed it.
Difficult it is,
To avoid it reminisced.
...

Sad is the trashing.
Of what could have been.
With determination to be.
But always interferring,
...

When truth isn't the truth.
And close to declare truth,
A fading fashion statement.
To protect someone,
...

Don't let anyone decide,
One's color of skin.
Should be your reason,
How you determine anyone's intelligence.
...

I trust to do what is best.
To leave alone what others suggest.
I have aged to experience,
Making mistakes.
...
