Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Why you get your Gucci's in a bunch,
Because some folks...
Are out to lunch.
And they want to crunch and munch,
...

A progressive society,
Is one in which its people are productive.
And all aspects of their deeds done,
Is towards the uplifting of the entire society.
...

Just one day...
Away.
For you and I to explore,
A new landscape.
...

We choose what we wish.
And dish it.
As it sits with others,
To comfort or make sick.
...

Forgers.
Circumventers.
Thieves.
Call them what you will.
...

How can I stay in your mind,
And drench myself with longing?
How can I do this,
When it seems of late...
...

Like a scent I did not invent...
I can not prevent or stop,
Images used with my words lifted.
By those who flatter,
...

They would love to see others,
For what they are not.
To be those figments,
Of their imaginations.
...

If it were not for one's ability to complain,
And given a forum to do so...
They would find other means,
To expose their self centered ambitions.
...
