Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

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

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

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,
...

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

Leave those cranky people,
...

There are times without reason,
When the mind rewinds...
Finding thoughts of others to come unexpected.
And hoping that a call brings a gratitude to express.
...

Oh...?
I am more than willing,
To give you something other than fluff.
But you are the one,
...

Evil is,
Something...
Some people need,
To feed on.
...

If the only caring you did for me,
Was to pretend it done and successfully...
Guess which one of us benefitted,
By meeting someone genuine...
...

Defying the odds.
Winning to get attention,
After being kicked to the curb...
Is an awesome feeling one deserves.
