Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I recently discovered,
I was quick banana fed.
Having one sliced in cereal.
One in a milkshake.

The giving of life,
Given as blessing to receive...
Has become for some an opportunity,
To manipulate, corrupt and deceive.

Nor do I religiously worship,
That which I have doubts about.
Or lay blame to complain with a frowning mouth.

Drown me in your light,
And let it shine on me.
Stormy are the clouds.
So treacherous the seas.

But no one but them knows.

Such doings can be tempting,
For one torn between participating...
In a demon's misdeeds.
To feel a seeking to get revenge,

How someone else should be?
Or that they are not being themselves?
Especially when those claiming to be down to Earth,
