Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When did it become a necessity,
To start an argument with someone...
About what it is that is missed.
To prioritize and try to convince,
...

More publicly are proving themselves fools.
And doing this in positions to represent,
Constituents of all demographics.
Coming to their defense.
...

When someone stops trying to explain,
What does not or will not make sense...
To someone else.
Maybe they should listen and ask why,
...

The majority.
Those of the status quo.
Seeking to preserve the state of affairs.
Put into place some time ago.
...

The only way to know love,
Is to have love to give.
Anyone looking for something,
To claim it wished to get.
...

In the midst of the latest,
Life threatening disease...
Man-made to have created.
Producing fear initiated.
...

Folks are uptight.
Outraged, offended, disgusted...
And protest that their entitlements,
Are being threatened by socialism.
...

Just too many tears.
Are cried by the innocent.

There's just too many tears.
...

Move.
Away from your ditch.
You dig everyday,
Dug as deep as you wish.
...

These days.
As remarkable as the changes,
Upon us all to either to accept or deny.
Fake or embrace with a qualified imitation.
...
