Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

They love to exaggerate,
Every move I make...
With a microscopic investigation,
As being foolish and incompetent.
...

This I accept...
As you have introduced and proposed,
To those who you wish to show me as,
One who holds an independent stance...
...

As a TV show...
The first episode,
Will always overflow with style.
A longevity is promised.
...

Crazed are these days.
And everybody prays they'll go away.
But when they came and visited,
Few among them resisted.
...

When Autumn comes to go to show,
Just how beautiful this season can be!
And leaves that fall from the trees,
Vivid and bright...
...

My feelings in the past,
Had been up for grabs.
With a need to please,
And be accepted.
...

Being social is a factor many doing it to get done,
Becomes advocated by those who solicit a mingling...
To congregate with others who have similar ideals.
But 'socialism' is despised by the ones trying to define it,
...

If it has been shown and to you known,
That I have been irritated...
And wish not to communicate.
Why would you want to confirm it,
...

I agree.
I don't understand what you've been through.
But 'who' made those decisions?
None of which you made,
...

Why are the people looking shocked and stunned?

'The one they elected to public office,
To represent their interests.
Has actually confessed to making a mistake,
...
