Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Renown scholars.
Poets, writers and scientists.
All agree...
What is,
...

One's end of purpose served,
Can come and be for them...
A struggle between belief,
And a grief refusing to face.
...

You can lie but from me,
You'll never get my trust back.
Once you do me wrong,
My trust is gone.
...

Few learn,
Without mistakes to make.
Or lessons enforced,
Taught to teach.
...

A raid.
Anticipating it.
And awaiting.
With others also participating.
...

Distracting.
Purposely obnoxious.
And obviously entertaining,
A process that disrupts...
...

Fractured factions,
To consider them a factor.
And their already dissenting,
Made known reactions.
...

Indefensible is an innocence.
Insisting...
In need to be defended.
When one's guilt has been,
...

A bickering enjoyed,
That ignores...
Common sense and facts.
Presented.
...

If I had not taken chances,
To adventure and explore...
This life to know it as mine,
I would find excuses to make...
...
