Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The gift of truth continues giving.
And those unwrapping this package received,
Have to be please of its increasing value.
Hourly.
...

A detected stupidity,
Released to see so obviously.
Can no longer go ignored to suspect.
Or protect its presence to forget,
...

Normalized to exhibit.
Portraits of self hatred.
Demoralized are those who view.
Seeking to imitate,
...

More seem to be coming less upset.
Knowing their invested interests,
Has returned limited happiness.
Many who have earned degrees,
...

Allegations.
And an avalanche of accusations made.
Take upon more of a weight,
When the ones who claim them false...
...

False tales spoken to sell well,
Does not often bring...
Peaceful nights of restful sleep,
To the ones hoping not to be haunted.
...

Tasteless!
And debasing.
Personal!
Without excuses.
...

Try staying to remain respectful.
With it done to do,
Sincerely to mean.
And you may be treated as a fool.
...

Ridiculous it is.
Absurd.
Comical and pointless.
Are threats made today to make.
...

More of it is staged.
To remain entertained that way.
Historic events,
With them created to believe.
...
