Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Waking to await the dawn to appear,
I am here.
Anticipating the horizon,
To see cleared...
...

Degrading others to satisfy a low self esteem...
Gets to become a comical scene to observe,
When the participants are left wondering...
Why a unity with them is resisted.
...

Unwind.
And have some fun.

Take the time.
And find...
...

'My doctor told me I had this.
And...
From what I've been told,
I am convinced...
...

In the living my life,
I have arrived to feel free...
From the caring of who evaluates,
How the doing of it done...
...

Devoted with a dedication,
Unmistakably related...
To a sacrificing done.
With a doing too!
...

I can not and wont argue,
The right or wrongs...
Of an opinion I am requested to give.
Nor will I sit defending in debating it,
...

Gun toting hypocrites,
Devoting their beliefs...
To an outdated ammendment.
And yet professing themselves,
...

An affectation of grandeur.
Boosted by absurd exaggeration.
Does not daze those of self praise.
Quickly to further inflate,
...

Whether praised,
Or raised to heights to admire...
To experience being forgotten,
And phased out of relevance to distance...
...
