Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Does it seem the pettiness of an existence,
Has been emphasized?
With an abundance of it accepted.
...

What difference does it make,
Who is selected to represent...
Fake entitlements.
...

'Are you mad? '

Of course!
...

The state of all quality of life,
Has weakened in the face of greed...
Isolation and a dedication,
To advance the marketing of ignorance.
...

There use to be folks who lived and believed,
They could create anything...
To have others accept as reality.
...

You don't know what you've done,
By the undoing.
You've unravelled potential.
An effect that has upset.
...

Obsessed.
Obsessed,
With what they believe...
Flatters.
...

They've bailed the automakers out...
But there's no one about,
To drive.
...

The hazard of their staggerings,
Brings this awareness to attention.
Many folks have found themselves broke!
And feeling busted to the gut...
...

It's the season for thoughtfulness.
A time we come together,
To feel blessed.
And to share our gratefulness,
...
