Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Keep it clean.
Every crack your packing.
Soap it up and down.
Rinse that dirt away.
...

The golden rule?
Those who hold and control the gold...
Will rule.
Those who disbelieve,
...

They are afraid to be discovered,
As imbeciles!
So to avoid this exposure...
Laws were amended.
...

Refresh, revive, renew...
And declare yourself,
You!
Detached and removed,
...

It is best to leave those cranky alone.
It pays to leave those cranky people alone.

Leave those cranky people,
...

Are you that person,
To take what you hear...
To be fact and not fiction?
...

Greed has chased their jobs,
And employers overseas.
Outsourcing was the word I heard...
When a few years ago,
...

Fearing fear to fear it done,
Has become a welcomed expectation.
And with it produced to be identified,
Has everyone anticipating it.
...

Stay right by my side.
And I hope you never show...
Or tell me I must go,
To then just walk away.
...

We were all given the same rules.
And the consequences for disobeying them,
Were tested.
By more than just a few.
...
