Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Do you honestly believe,
A truth is spoken to obtain one popularity?
Has grandma ever baked a cake you ate,
To exclaim it delicious...
...

If for no other reason they exist,

Have done this very effectively.
This is not a negative wish.
...

There are roads that cross,
From which one picks to choose.
Hoping to make a correct decision,

If I had not been misguided,
To right the wrongs I've done.
Acknowledge my mistakes.
Self examine my flaws...

Is to not go near the plague.
And refuse to be inoculated,
To stimulate antibodies...

Come and leave the coop.
I can...
Skip and jump through hoops.
...

You've got me rockin'.
You've got me rollin'.
You've got me dreamin'...
Of what I would do,
...

No I don't know how you feel,
When you're alone.
No I don't know what to say,
Or do...
...

The best advice I have to give,
To anyone wishing to walk...
Is to practice falling.
When that has been accomplished,
