Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

It should not take more than one time,
For anyone to awaken...
To realize a hospitality shown to others,
Has begun to become less appreciated.
...

Those who start things,
Never to complete them...
Can irritate to no end.
...

The one elevated to the top spot,
Usually becomes the one...
Who's efforts become devalued.
...

The same pattern.
The same routine.
The same excuses used,
To defend the obvious widely seen.
...

No everlasting feeling of joy,
Permanently stays...
In those who participate,
With the undoing of advancements...
...

Few who come to know a pain that is endured,
Are not out campaigning to gain...
Sympathy votes.
...

Fresh is the scent of invention.
It invites to awaken the adventure,
In us all.
Without hesitation....
...

Unafraid of the challenge,
One dares to overcome...
The glare of threats.
...

Be with me or leave.
Arguments or debates,
I can not take...
If destructive.
...

I appreciate the flattery.
But the forging of my signature...
I can not condone.
...
