Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

What has been done to others to do,
Has been done...
To others to do.
With a doing to get over.
...

It has become a commonplace activity,
To denounced as if to censor...
Those who pronounce a truth to announce.
Although a doing of it with little resistance,
...

I am fleet of foot...
The moment I suspect,
A mocking to be done of my intellect.
Especially when the baiting is being done,
...

Isn't the feeling fantastic,
When a past that has been lived...
Can be reminisced without regrets.
And every step forward has made a difference,
...

Try not to take those wrong steps,
You find catches you out of breath.
...

Maybe it's not ready for you to get yet!
Like a wishing for Spring and through Summer you've slept.
And maybe it's not ready for you to get quite yet!
'Cause if it was in your mind it'd be there to be kept.
...

So you've stumbled.
To crawl on your knees.
With a doing to stand tall.
Now all you have to do is to move your feet.
...

With a doing,
Pursuing...
An understanding that's meant.
And with a doing,
...

Those who don't get it wont.
Pick up 'your' blessings.
Those who wont just don't.
Pick up 'their' blessings.
...

Noticeable it is,
For those kept abreast and conscious of it...
A known point sought when reached,
Has no return to an innocence left.
...
