Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

On my back,
I see you casting shadows.
And picnicing under rain drenched clouds.
Can't you see I know that?
...

How can something so vital,
And necessary to the growth...
Of the minds to advance the education,
Needed for today's children to compete...
...

We are in the midst,
Of a new beginning.
Although it seems,
A whirlwind of conflicts exist.
...

Deciding to come out of hiding,
To run away...
From what's inside,
Kept still denied.
...

We sit and wish to free ourselves,
From the ease to fall into the grips of lamenting.
Part of life is to be shakened up a bit emotionally.
And that is the only sense we can not transfer.
...

Why are the people horrified?
And running about as if panicked?

'They are trying to find places to hide.
...

In today's society,
People are seldom happy...
Unless the ruining of someone else's life,
Has come to enhance a feeling of self worth.
...

A rushing done to be accountable today...
Leaves 'what' to be influenced?
An attention to get?
Or is it a wish to be thought of as responsible?
...

Increasing flame!

We've got to let it go.
We've got to let it go.
...

If you're deep up in it,
It's all good.
And every minute that you give it,
It's all good.
...
