Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A childish prank,
That begins in innocence,
But is allowed to develop...
Into acts of violation of privacy.
...

I've never understood why,
Some would jeopardize their own lives...
To gain three seconds of fame and attention,
Although forgettable but mentioned.
...

A mind that compares but is not there,
To evaluate or self examine...
Can not be held accountable,
For a thought process...
...

I thought I was dreaming.
You were there when things began to change.
The air was filled with creative opinionated glee,
Then suddenly...
...

As long as your stature remains credible,
I will defend you.
And nothing you do...
In my eyes,
...

The eating of 'crow' and humble pie,
Is not so easy...
For one young with stars in their eyes.
Especially if the cranking up of hype is believed.
...

Bad credit?
I wouldn't have applied for credit at all...
If I could afford what i wanted.
...

Don't take the peas up off my plate.
That irritates.
Don't even think about sneaking them.
They are there for me to eat.
...

Never satisfied they are,
With the dragging of themselves...
Down into the murkiest of dirt.
No.
...

Be you pursued!
This day.
Be you,
With patience kept.
...
