Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If people in places where jealousies exist,
Have no original thoughts of their own or common sense...
An attempt to dilute what is presented takes place.
With a making less effective,
...

You don't know what I know, do yah.
Do yah, do yah.

Deceit defeated will end all misdeeds.
...

Doing their best for a way to find,
Vacant heads to dope.
And...
Erasing logic out of minds,
...

Why weren't you there in attendance?

'Depending on who tells it,
And for the reason it has been told...
...

It would be nice to know,
Those I had chosen to follow...
Were not secretly making attempts,
To sabotage my interests.
...

When you can show to me,
You can be respectful with discipline...
And...
Have integrity?
...

Fearing to experience life invites indecision.
Many who are taught to do things right...
Just might find themselves debating,
Over choices they prefer and like...
...

Tabasco...
Hot!
And cayenne pepper,
Seems to heat nonstop.
...

If the health and welfare of the people are ignored,
As is!
At the expense of increasing entitlements few get.
With a defending of them no one can afford.
...

Those who believe,
A quality obtained...
Can be kept and yet replace,
Those who initiated that quality to please...
...
