Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Beliefs aren't changed overnight,
Because of misdirection.
Beliefs are changed overnight,
When new ones are created.
...

Even upon their arrival,
Some will view them as aliens...
Or invaders.
...

Whatever is going on in your life,
You dislike yet initiated.
You should try...
Acknowledging that you had it your way.
...

I pray you stay safe.
And not get too close,
To those chestnuts hot and steaming...
As they lay roasting,
...

The last of many tears came to fall.
To undo acknowledged sorrows...
Selected and picked,
To wallow away in self pity.
...

'Why have you removed your surgical mask?
And hung that portrait of Tiger Woods,
Upon the wall? '
...

If you are one seeking depth,
To satisfy an insatiable appetite...
That quiets a quest and delights your curiosity?
The Atlantic Ocean is on the East Coast.
...

Why do people panic,
When a familiarity from them...
Suddenly leaves their lives.
And they have nothing left,
...

You have only been solicited,
To assist in their progess...
And for their benefit.
When that is done,
...

Some say my contributions are political.
With a point of view that is fixed.
But who is living to exist without religion,
Or politics?
...
