Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Faithfully loyal,
To fraud, deception.
And the feeding,
Of self serving greed.
...

Experiences to have and live them,
Does not make it easier...
To avoid the nonsense.
And the foolishness many choose to accept.
...

Unable to embrace,
The basic of issues.
Causing grief.
Unable to claim them,
...

Anyone living,
In these mysterious days.
Attempting common sense to use,
Against the effective presence...
...

What is it the rewards,
Those choosing ignorance to keep it.
And those making up lies to tell.
Taught by others to do this well.
...

As I age each day to grow older.
I find an attraction,
To commit love crimes.
With a grabbing to snatch,
...

Consoling the mindset,
Of the many victimized by deceivers.
Does not sit well with those,
Dripping from sweat.
...

No one grows,
From avoiding mistakes to make.
Or challenges to face a fear,
That chases.
...

There can not be progress made,
With just one apple orchard planted.
From a variety of other delicious fruits.
Available to savor the flavor,
...

Pressure to have had once addressed.
To keep up with appearances.
And impressions made when much younger.
Done before one discovers,
...
