Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Why should it have to explained?
Figure it out!
You have a brain.
And why some do,
...

The worlds of the universe unite and gather,
To view the spanking of the fools.
The socially unfit,
Are about to get a spiritual lift.
...

It's true...
They do have the experience.
And we are all looking for a few,
Who can not spell the word at all.
...

You can not rush them to reality fast enough.
Overloaded with empathy?
Bummed out on low levels of unconditional love?
Shared as if you were running for office of the Love god.
...

Someday
You will think about this
And come to wish you chose
To be with me
...

They don't want to be real.
And yet the reality of their existence,
Has manifested them in constant complaint.
Their eyes have been shielded from a truth,
...

You want to do what?
Come aboard?
That ship sailed too long ago.
And after my experiences...
...

You hurt me.
And when I healed from it,
I realized it was your hurt.
Something you wanted me to feel.
...

To cling to that which is changing,
Splits and widens the gap...
Between that which is wished,
And dismissing the honesty attached
...

Things that people did well...
Like lieing.
Cheating.
Feeding greed.
...
