Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I aint trying to get down with the beat,
Or keep it funky for 'nobody'.
To boogey to impress,
I can address with sweat...
...

When this day began...
I felt sentimental.
Just last night I spent,
Dreaming...
...

Time is too precious,
To give to others to waste...
As they bask within their egos,
Procrastinating what moves to make...
...

They've been amongst us.
Crooks and thieves.
Discreet deceivers...
Doing as they please.
...

What benefit is there to things,
If in the acquisition made...
Not one touch from them they bring.
Or a pair of eyes caught,
...

Theodora.
One admired...
As I watch,
In my fedora...
...

People who believe themselves to be influential,
And dismiss the activities of others quick.
Assuming what has been done,
Will not affect where they sit...
...

After producing the product.
And pinpointing the demographics,
To ensure a specific marketing...
Is done effectively to entice,
...

We all have made our decisions.
And began taking paces,
Towards our fates.
On selected paths.
...

No matter what it is you may do,
You are going to meet...
With someone's disapproval.
And there is no need to be discouraged,
...
