Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I do apologize.
My interests have been totally misunderstood.
I have no resources to fund,
Those homeless and needing to overcome their poverty.
...

It isn't there sitting,
To provide incentive...
As it was mentioned to be intended.
...

I've learned,
Not to confess too much.
Even to those I 'suspect' I can trust.
...

Keep the brighter light on your side,
And...
Make it your decision,
You're going to stay everyday with it.
...

Oh beautiful it is to awaken each day,
To have choices to make...
And aspire to achieve to unlimited heights.
With a doing to have no one refuse what I like.
...

I wish kept identified all pieces out of place...
I recognize with my own eyes.
And with a doing to investigate,
That which is obvious and in my face.
...

It is not okay,
To say what you wish...
About another.
Then decide from your lips,
...

A baton held high...
With a pride one strides,
But reluctant to pass on.
Loses an influence that could cement,
...

The 'eve' of fresh beginnings approach.
And this one does not linger to sit,
Upon a threshold wishing to cross.
...

Why should 'you' care?

Uniforms were adorned,
To ensure your way of life and peace enjoyed...
...
