Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The life given to me,
I have made it my own.
With time taken to structure,
And develop with interests...
...

Those that do not play an active role,
In the raising of their own children...
But appear from nowhere,
To claim bragging rights.
...

Satisfying the attention seeking egos of others,
Is easy.
Express a life lived that is disliked.
Complain about other people.
...

The act of evil does not go unscathed.
Nor will the wearing of a huge crucifix...
Protect a deceiver who is a hypocrite,
From receiving to them what comes that is due.
...

Put it down!
Pick it up tomorrow.
It will be more relevant.
And then a defensiveness,
...

They believe themselves to be keeper of secrets,
Stolen from sacred tombs.
They believe themselves to possess,
Origins of an existence...
...

Evolving.
Evolution.
A change from that,
Which does not remain the same.
...

The achieving,
With a delivery done...
To another,
Of their expectations received.
...

Deceit, deception, treason!
When have these factors not been used,
To abuse the lives of others?
And then to accuse those who have been victimized...
...

Out of relevance.
Out of having any influence,
Period.
...
