Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

We must protect those who show us loyalty,
With affirmed committment...
To listen and appreciate their opinions when given.
Not many of us today live,
...

Claim you will not maim,
Those goals you have named to achieve.
No matter if your shoulders hold a heavy load...
Keep your motor fueled.
...

An unevolving complacency sits.
Unresisted.
Without a sign of urgency,
Coming to involve in the igniting of it.
...

From depths I rose and chose to shine,
Because you made it so!
And...
From dawn 'til midnight,
...

To 'know' God is to be 'free' of inhibitions...
Pretensions and superstitions,
Those demonic live to identify.
To restrict consciousness to limits.
...

Un peuple réduit en esclavage,
Par leur propre volonté...
Pour être mis en liberté.
Les gens qui se sont rebellés,
...

Suddenly their sadness,
Seems to be a benefit to psychologists.
En masse they want back,
What does not belong to them.
...

Hey...it's twenty ten.
Enjoy the treasures delivered from the universe,
You deserve.
Over and over and over again.
...

People are too accepting,
Of their learned and enforced perceptions.
Envisoned with fixed images in their minds.
Like men aren't expected to cook or do chores.
...

Too beautiful to fall,
Fail or stumble.
These steadfast priorities...
Are undergoing drastic change.
...
