Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

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.
...

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...
...

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

If you are that kind of person,
Who does not understand...
That pieces of a jiggsaw puzzle,
Creates a completed picture...
...

Hot!
Like a heat hot.
These past few days,
In the first week of July 2010...
...

If you happen to be one who brags,
About that which you love to say you own.
And your signature appears,
On outstanding loans?
...

Why am I upset?
There is no one in a leadership position,
Who has taken responsibility...
For my lack of competence.
...

Sometimes people do make mistakes.
I've made some.
And who has not made a few?
But not knowingly at the expense of others.
...

Being optimistic sometimes isn't realistic,
When...
You know what it's like,
Having every button you have pushed.
...
