Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I thought you told me you were moving away?

'I did.'

Oh.
So you are here on a visit?
...

'Give us an image.
One that wont diminish.
How can we exist...
Unconsciously following into a total darkness? '
...

The issue raised that has created stagnation,
In some places facing dire consequences...
Has been the importance of nuts discussed,
Observed becoming loosened from their bolts.
...

The same people who exclaimed,
They will remain the same unchanged.
And down to Earth.
With a belief the doing of this,
...

Claimed it is too painful,
To face the past some say.
Yet held within their grasp to hold,
Is that past they keep portrayed.
...

Incompetence to define it,
Is quicker to observe these days.
Than explaining how it can occur.
And allowed to be possible.
...

There will come a time,
If it has not yet arrived.
When those who have found assumptions,
As an acceptable function with it done to do...
...

He will...
Remove all the troubles we've got!
He will...
Heal us from the bottom to top.
...

My ambassador questing days are done!
Attempting to knit a quilt with benefits...
Does not best sit with everyone,
Warming as they do under one Sun!
...

Like never before.
Ever before.

Just to feed the greed of elites.
