Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

After decades of steady and rapid decline,
It is becoming increasingly difficult...
For anyone to prove,
With or without a protesting to do...
...

No one keeps,
What is felt to desire...
At a minimal.
Nor dreams with wishes,
...

Gone are my announced responses.
And the need to make comment.
I feel I have done all I could do,
To reveal and prove my love for you.
...

The ones uninformed and less prepared,
To remain and stay aware of their surroundings...
Are always solicited to be picked,
As advocates quick to protest...
...

When and without an if to perceive,
Clouded skies begin to disappear.
The unfit and twisted depicted,
Will no longer be considered...
...

You did not leave me left,
Out of breath and sighing...
For your return.
Although my heart was broken.
...

Aging fence sitters,
Hiding behind others...
Who have made clear,
Of their purposes to cement...
...

They could never bring themselves,
To show an expressed appreciation...
With it known to be shown to the ones,
Qualified to sit in leadership positions.
...

I would like to take,
Just a few minutes of this meeting...
To express my heartfelt gratitude,
For your unwavering support...
...

Feeling,
That the days have come...
Reeling minds of everyone.
Dizzy,
...
