Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Demeaning with druthers.
Others to do and not undercover.
And done to do as if one should.
To those perceived less fortunate.
...

Love to feel it and to have.
Is seldom shown on a face that's sad.
Even in times that are not going good,
People with love to know it felt...
...

There is nothing quite like,
The roar of a quiet thunder.
To feel and be aware,
Of its penetrating silence.
...

Brittle is the ground,
We stand on.
And...
Fiddled are the minds,
...

Within those boundaries made,
More are created to abuse and enslave.
Endorsed by the very ones,
Believing themselves protected.
...

The biggest mistake anyone can make,
Is admitting not wishing to be perfect.
And daring publicly to acknowledge,
That being a human being can be challenging.
...

There is nothing wrong,
With having ideals to believe.
Are possible to reach.
And in a state of mind one keeps,
...

Headaches to prevent and end them.
To recognize when they begin.
May for many be difficult to avoid.
Or ignore the affects to accept.
...

Observe yourself.
Exposing just how much you're petty.
Can you observe yourself.
A child as if to be adult.
...

In some situations...
Less to do,
Achieves greater results.
While in other situations...
...
