Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Exhibited respect,
Can be observed and seen...
To be done from those,
Who do not demand it given.
...

An elevator stuck in between floors,
Will stay where it is.
Until it is fixed.
Or someone who rides inside of it,
...

I am not a rocket scientist.
But with the aid of observation,
I can tell you this...
Making things look easy to do,
...

Why send a message,
With an expectation to receive a response.
If your 'email' box is full and blocked.
And when you confront people,
...

I don't cater to excuses.
In fact,
When I hear them being made...
They instantly annoy.
...

When the point of no return has been reached,
The preaching of sermons or lectures heard...
Has no effect to influence upon a mind vacant.
...

Carry on,
With a humming along that song.
That song to sing,
When things appear to go wrong.
...

Fighting to keep denied an insight,
From reaching daylight...
Will never fade a darkness heightened.
As more conflicts ignite.
...

The flight of this lone pilot,
Has experienced the consequences...
Of dismissing turbulence before.
With a coming 'thisclose' to disaster.
...

Opportunities to them came,
To eventually connect to meaning.
Opportunities to them came...
To leave!
...
