Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Fundamentally?
You and I,
Are on the same page.
Reading the same text.
...

Sometimes I wish I was dusted.
Under a rug!
And not be dedicated...
To observe those medicated.
...

Some people are ecstatic.
To remain emphatically...
On unchanged levels.
And free to exist,
...

It is best to ignore.
Than to make attempts to explore,
Communication.
With a mind closed.
...

A man in his eighties...
Admits to sleeping,
In his mansion.
With young blond girls.
...

I have issues with people who leave people...
Begging on the streets with nothing to eat.
Or treat others like they're not even human equals.
And then look disgusted like they are diseased
...

So many make claims...
They do not wish the government,
To play a role in their personal lives!
It is said the government already has,
...

Dispatch me from the batch,
Of those who wish a rematch back...
To patch relationships that cracked.
As if life lived is meant for that!
...

I'm back on the road.
Detoured by my burdens and that load.
No tears do I shed.
I've cleared out my head.
...

Make promises to keep!

Breaking a promise,
Is like kissing away one's integrity.
...
