Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Once one stops!
A beginning that had started...
For them comes to an end.
...

A purposed degrading of a forward moment,
Time dictates has to be made.
As time moves on and does not discriminate.
Enslaves the ones affixed...
...

I've read your 'work'.
And I think you are great.
But there is a dilemma.
You wish from me,
...

Choosing to remain uninformed,
But in a constant curiosity...
About what goes on in other people's lives.
As the World continues to spin,
...

A beefed up security,
Enhances the advancement of fear.
And when a projection of fear,
Has been stamped with a face...
...

Upon its first sighting,
As a possible defect.
A protection immediately instigated,
Should have gone into effect.
...

One never knows,
What tomorrow holds and proposes.
Or what a future means.
Until in it one lives.
...

Who penetrated my inner peace,
Be declaring they meet my needs.
And...
Who is that unpacking their crap,
...

Someone has been filling your head,
With cotton candy.
And your mind has been nibbling on it,
As your thoughts leave from you,
...

That comfort once given,
To those fleeing to live in suburbia...
Has become more disturbing,
To those who had taken flight...
...
