Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Punished.
Most of us become.
Allowing this to self inflict.
Done to hear and believe,
...

Truth to reveal it.
And evidence of its reality.
Conflicting beliefs,
Of those professing...
...

Lower are the standards set,
That acquiesces.
And approves,
Who swindles, scams...
...

Intelligence known to have it.
With common sense to use.
Has yet to be,
An historic discovery...
...

Objectively excusing,
Those who have gained status.
And to do with a refusing,
To acknowledge what was done.
...

Good morning students.
I know this comes,
As a surprise for all of you.
But, I decided today,
...

Removing a core,
Of planted rotten seeds.
Surgically.
Undercover.
...

You may read and examine,
Words I have chosen.
Specifically and simply picked.
To describe a moment,
...

Few proven to be competent.
With leadership qualities.
Will rush to volunteer.
Sacrificing to give up,
...

A crisis serious enough,
That bites and awakens...
A sleeping butt.
Will be the butt,
...
