Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Mayan texts were burned.
Egyptian monuments,
Were tampered and disfigured.
...

Take and keep your faith placed high,
On your agenda that is prioritized.
It is the only thing you will come to treasure,
As having tremendous value...
...

Why is there so much turmoil,
And problems escalating today?

Find a mirror.
...

Don't ask?
Don't tell...what?
What is obviously on display,
In the faces of the public everyday?
...

Where are those people running towards so fast?
Has a sale been announced?

'No.
...

Oh,
I am in total agreement.
People do change.
And the evidence of that is clear.
...

A fruitless life one lives and perceives,
May be for many...
An actuality.
...

Some people believe they are above and not equal.
With abilities to steal and thieve.
But all of us on Earth have come...
From Earth to leech.
...

Of course I care that you are there.
I am not without intuition.
Because I choose not to listen,
Does not leave me obligation free...
...

Living to contribute,
Often becomes a discouragement...
To those who are needlessly offended,
By the publicity given to their activities.
...
