Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

To value things to chase,
Seems such a waste of life.
And this becomes realized,
Once those things chased...
...

Hearing people complain,
Reminds me of a child...
Who has been told to be patient.
But couldn't.
...

'Why have you allowed them to do 'that' to you? '

To do what?
...

One should never address,
Or involve themselves...
In business affairs not theirs.
Yet many do with claims to make.
...

It is poetic and prophetic,
With some tongue in cheek stuff.
It is poetic and prophetic,
With some tongue in cheek stuff.
...

You could bake for me cupcakes,
To then smother with thick gravy.
And I would eat them.
I would.
...

The beliefs and perceptions one has,
Of them to hold unchanging in their minds...
Are nearly the same thing.
And as concrete as a decision made,
...

I am familiar with them changing the rules,
Each time I near the goal line.
And each time I near the goal line,
They are the ones finding themselves...
...

As things get old,
We recognize them then...
As old.
With sentimental...
...

You gotta get up,
And get away...
Boy.
The beating of the streets has aged,
...
