Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Sometimes there is a reason why
Fluff rises to the top
Thorns and thick brush on paths
Can be a bit too much
...

You act as if,
You are not sensitive at all
To the 'needs' of others.
...

For themselves,
There is a need to create competitors.
To see a competing done between,
Different influences.
...

Those kept on the bottom keep keeping on.
Those kept on the bottom keep keeping on.
Those kept on the bottom keep keeping on.
Those kept on the bottom,
...

When I turned away,
I...
Never thought I'd be back.
Or wished I had not left,
...

It's not easy to leap and grow up.
Not easy to leave behind stuff,
That keeps one cemented and stuck...
With a sticking comfort.
...

Of course I'd be lieing,
If I said I have never lied.
I'm just not doing it right now.
I am using my option,
...

Come and sing with me in harmony.
And let us keep in tune.
With a singing in duet...
Until this fills up every room.
...

People,
Everyday are more convinced.
People,
Are hopping more off the fence.
...

Let it go!
To whatever it is,
That keeps you from feeling...
What your happiness is!
...
