Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Openly disgusting.
And out of the closet to discuss.
With their relationships,
No longer hidden.
...

Why is it some people,
Are made convinced to believe...
Those minding their own business,
Are envious of them.
...

We live life to be ruled.
And choose we do to follow,
Those we depict as idols.
...

Truth wounds the liar.
Not able to heal.
And unable to be consoled.
Like a child.
...

"Take it as it is or leave it.
You hear me?
Take it as it is.
Take it as it is! "
...

Beginnings to have begun,
Competitive and confrontational.
Should not have anyone assume,
Created rivalries are expected...
...

It does not matter where truth sits.
Comfortably and unconcerned.
Loaded with proof and evidence.
As deception does its best,
...

If you had been,
Once the one laughed at.
When as a child,
You were introduced to chores.
...

You!
The one tested.
Kept arrested and confined,
To depths of re-occurring disappointments.
...

How valid is an argument to pick,
With anyone who admits...
The making of mistakes to have made.
And unafraid to say,
...
