Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Has your satisfaction,
Been achieved.
To do as you please,
Impulsively.
...

More favorable is solicited hearsay.
Defended by mockingbirds.
Overhearing what other birds have heard.
Sitting on fences whispering beliefs.
...

Has anyone who is found guilty,
Of committing a number of discovered...
Corrupted criminal activities.
And admitted the doing of it publicly.
...

What has passed not to last.
Should no longer matter.
Regardless what it was,
To want and wish back.
...

Hypothetically speaking, of course.
And not to endorse the enforcement,
Or solicit the support of my assessment.
It should be stated,
...

Many do not know,
What they present to sow...
Will be reaped.
Delivered and received,
...

Just because I choose to remove,
Conflict of all kinds...
To leave behind.
And away from my mind.
...

Pausing to reveal,
Their flaws from loosened jaws.
Detrimental to prevent,
More contradictions...
...

More witnesses to need them,
To repeat unnecessarily...
A truth made to hear,
Devastatingly clear.
...

"Those expectations set in stone.
Leave them!
Leave them alone."
...
