Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

These days that have arrived,
Are not going to be forgotten...
For the challenges they present.
Or will they leave us to return unchanged,
...

From me you received love,
Undivided time...
And unquestionable patience.
Then I did not realize,
...

Why is it with ease but difficult to believe...
For those who intentionally,
Do their wicked deeds to others...
With a doing to watch them bleed and suffer,
...

I no longer question my dislike for anyone.
Or their displeasure for me.
I admit I once did.
But the answer lacked substance.
...

So much that could and should be understood,
Is left to assume to never be comprehended...
By those with minds manipulated to accept,
Created realities often changed to reflect...
...

Unsuitable.
That which offends,
Those with limited...
And preferred kept pretentions.
...

Giving up on the old to hold.
And importance given to them to mention.
Giving up on what had been sold,
With a giving less attention...
...

Even when others turn their backs,
God provides to compensate...
Anyone who suffers through a doing of that.
...

People deep with choices to stay asleep,
But hoping with a wishing for their dreams to reach...
Are stuck devoted to a rusting gone unnoticed.
But shown to those who know,
...

Topics and themes,
To described them discussed...
In writing to reveal.
May leave the one who benefits,
...
