Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Fed to greed.
That's it.
Not to solicit with a consciousness,
To correct with a higher learning...
...

They carry Bibles and yet lie.
Quote scriptures,
Although hypocrites.
And are the main reasons,
...

Seek to manifest your best.
When you begin to notice...
You have begun to be bothered,
By critics and other pests...
...

Isn't it ironic,
That those comments made yesterday...
About the economy nose diving because of greed,
Were comments mentioned then to have a negativity.
...

I use to feel so bad about it.
I use to get so mad and doubt it.
When conversations turned to age.
And who had looks they thought would stay.
...

'I admit to those times of being vane,
AND guilty.
But...
Not in recent memory.'
...

I've seen birds with wings,
Use them.
I've known people with talents,
And God given gifts...
...

Tell me where you go,
When you've got to leave me.
To say you're seeking some harmony!
...

You borrowed from me ten dollars.
With a promise to pay me...
Last week.
Today you are angry,
...
