Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Do what you like.
Do it with devotion.
Perfecting what is done...
With heartfelt emotion.
...

Too early in the morning.
And all the time.
You are there,
As if an alarm clock.
...

Let me put this in perspective for you.
Are you ready?
This journey began in 1952.
I was 5
...

Je vous cherche.
Non où ne font je vois...
Ce sourire qui rit,
Exprimer ces yeux de danse.
...

The marketing of flu,
Has become a multi billion dollar industry.
There is money to be made in creating vaccines,
By private corporations.
...

Oh they've got their corks up now.
Overtaxed and burdened,
They can not relax.
Smack dab in the middle,
...

If you are still here,
And I awaken screaming.
I have not experienced a nightmare.
I am just surprised,
...

They would spread lies,
On my sisters and I.
And they were relatives.
Preparing us very early...
...

Great liberties have been taken,
To prove to all you are the superior race!
And I wonder...
If much of what you expose is from insecurity?
...

Never keep it unreal to feel.
If it isn't.
Or try to appeal,
With a concealing an indifference.
...
