Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If anyone believes,
The one standing alone...
Taking the heat under spotlight,
Runs the show...
...

One needs only to open their eyes.
Wide.
And listen with their ears.
Without the aid of whispering peers.
...

The last time I said,
I have had enough of it.
That's it!
No more.
...

To be grateful and feel blessed,
To have accomplished 'something'...
I can look upon and be proud of the doing,
Is an achievement...
...

It must to you feel great,
To create an opposition.
Then to bait others...
To help keep it faked.
...

Jutting!
Like projectiles upward,
To reach.
These granite slabs.
...

Pitiful.
Most of them have lost their way.
Within smoked screened personas.
...

He has vowed!
Yes.
Vowed to abdicate the throne!
He alone has grown tired,
...

Escaped from fear to make decisions.
No longer in doubt,
I can and will have happiness...
Inside and out.
...

What we use to do.
And what we now can find no time,
Together.
Chasing rainbows once done!
...
