Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Every position you have taken on this situation,
Has produced the opposite dire results.
And here you have come before us for the eighth time
To request additional financial support for a failed procedure.
...

Blindfolded they were.
And interrogated for who they were not.
Taken and detoxed...
Weened from events needing to stop,
...

If someone continues to sit
And still doesn't 'get it'!
Don't season it with salt and pepper.
No matter what is done...
...

Meet me after dinner.
After all has been dished and served!
Meet me after dinner here...
If you have the nerve!
...

There is nothing that says
People have to prove they have no clue
As to what they are doing.
...

To you it was funny
When they were using my money,
And now you're so far in debt...
You may as well stay there!
...

Come to me...
Forget about what this isn't.
Or the time when passions sent,
Have eased from touches hot.
...

Thick it is,
That 'thing' that lifts.
Sitting at times,
Undisturbed and quiet.
...

Just because you say 'they' don't get it...
Does that mean you should be a constant reminder?
If they are not getting whatever it is that's been evaluated,
Perhaps they are happy not knowing!
...

They are not yet frightened.
Believing what they face,
Can be easily erased...
With more deceit and strategies that manuever!
...
