Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I use to think of it as inclusive.
Those with appearances,
Of a similar and familiar physicalness...
Immedicately identifying,
...

Wouldn't it be wonderful,
To know something told...
From another you heard to say,
Is not going to be changed...
...

The bottomline is this:
Are there people searching their souls,
And spending sleepless nights...
With a losing of their precious time,
...

It's easy to walk in someone else's shoes.
And to feel what it takes to place their footsteps...
With mistakes made.
To never look back with a moving forward unafraid.
...

You challenge me to debate?
That's great.
You name the time, place and date.
And I prefer to do this,
...

Manipulators eventually are beset with inner conflict.
And confused as to which foot they began to stand.
All credibility from them has been lost,
When seen to hop from one foot to another...
...

Some of you may become disappointed,
Your requests go unheeded.
With an attention sought...
You may believe deserved.
...

Preferences to feast,
Decrease.

Many admit that theirs...
...

Focus,
You may never have a chance to start again.
Focus,
There's no promises to end what just begins.
...

You need not ever worry.
Or express a moment of concern,
If I am going to return to you...
Anything that I have borrowed.
...
