Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You can not,
At this time arrive.
To declare,
What is mine to have...
...

Am I relevant?
I am not afraid to keep current.
I am not worrying about any egos to massage.
Or pretenses to keep hidden.
...

The best justice to have
Is one that is undeniably
Cloaked and submerged,
In accepted injustice!
...

Driven to succeed...
To appease the teasing,
Of an expedited climb to new heights!
Increased by the sight,
...

You are 'here' to stay...
Where?
HERE?
...

Giving up on a monotonous groove,
That has fused those stuck in a fading rut...
Has more than addicted.
And is a dilemma,
...

Not a clock heard ticking with a tock,
Is doing it slower at one's advantage...
To block the stopping of procrastination.
...

In the midst of seeking joy,
Where is the search one makes...
To show and express faith and gratitude?
...

I did not come to this field to play games.
I came equipped to score some serious points.
And to prove my aim is beyond bragging rights.
...

There is quite a difference made,
Between maintaining one's patience...
And being taken advantage of by others.
...
