Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

After many decades spent,
Living lives on dwindling cash...
And value placed on cards,
Made of plastic...
...

What does one say to another,
Who has absorbed much disrespect.
Knowing it has been undeserved...
And yet this is what,
...

If one is misunderstanding,
The connection between...
Passion,
Sacrifice and discipline.
...

Your backyard is in shambles!
And you peer over my fence,
With attempts to convince me...
Your life is one that is more advantageous,
...

Why do you hand me that noose?
Is this your attempt at comedy?

'Oh,
...

It is happening today!
Those deceivers, cheaters,
And thieves...
Are being chased away,
...

~That's not true.~
*Yes it is.*
~That's not true.~
*Yes it is.*
...

Living high in a castle,
Without a mote.
Isn't easy to do...
When one searches the horizon,
...

Not to acknowledge one's failures,
That has produced the arising of conflicts...
One initiated when introducing such events.
Is much like enjoying the act of making children...
...

The slow process of leaking truth,
Has finally begun.
Sweetened lives,
Splashed with a little lemon...
...
