Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Ban the void.
Tch.
Ban the void.
Tch, tch.
...

Be not in your gloom,
To squander despair.
With feelings that squeeze...
Memories of happiness.
...

The real reason unemployment statistics,
Are dropping?
To keep mouths closed,
And delusions from stopping?
...

Continue to procrastinate.
Do nothing,
But waste your time!
Advice solicited given to you...
...

Here it is at one-oh-five.
The air is fresh...
And I'm alive.
Wanting more...
...

Do I care that you are hurting?
Did you ever care...
Period!
...

If it is not a craft you are going to master,
Much unlike a hobby done for sport!
Or something like a doodle done?
You ought not make attempts,
...

Realization.
There is 'something' honest,
And truthful about its presentation.
Somehow...
...

Even if you decided not to show up,
Or came late with another excuse to make...
What is going to happen,
Will occur with or without you.
...

I've stopped attempting to find explanations,
For my thoughts.
Or, make someone feel less intimidated...
For the experiences I have,
...
