Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I am to stop my own progress.
To aid you in the taking of your steps.
...

There are those who actually believe,
They can study the thought process...
Of another with misplaced effort and time spent.
And doing the best they can to dissect,
...

The trouble with people feeding their greed,
And perceiving their feeding to hoard
To be an eternal process,
For themselves to be kept stored.
...

For those who wish were given,
More time to find.
Is it easier,
When they get it.
...

When an admission of caring for another,
Begins for the other...
A reason to establish a game of playing,
'Let Me See You Chase'.
...

Even though people hold unto beliefs,
They will declare exist.
With interpretations of them.
Like a peace wished to exist.
...

There are very few,
Who dare to say they qualify...
To identify themselves,
As bona fide human beings.
...

Those sick in health,
And always with something negative to say,
About someone else...
Reflect the condition of their environment.
...

One's inability,
To face the truth...
Should not be a reflection,
Of one's integrity.
...

With slander and character assassinations,
Already effective.
And those of defective states of mind,
Still relying on their pretentions to impress.
...
