Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

It all has been there!
From the very beginning of its plotting.
Ingredients used?
A perception of kindness.
...

Why didn't I tell you before?
I did.
But I was not dressed the part.
I was not the vision you expected.
...

I would love to entertain your priorities.
However...
My schedule has been changed.
And on my agenda,
...

I remember my encounter...
With reality!
That's when I was stripped,
From those things I valued.
...

Named were they,
To become kings of power!

Gay Hall
...

'Rumors about me being,
Obnoxious, rude and tempermental...
Have been over exaggerated.
...

Revisions may not always relate.
When across the board,
A changing slate is constantly updated...
Then erased!
...

For decades we have been lied to.
And for a consciousness that is absent...
This disrespect gains our affection!
It has to be witnessed to be believed...
...

Rhythmic is the slowing down,
Of a once vibrant existence.
Limits placed upon an isolated consciousness...
Is set for all to witness a diminished outlook,
...

Don't tolerate anyone...
That uses your integrity,
To mask their own insecurities.
...
