Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You run away from me as if chased.
And I stay in place wondering,
Is this an expression of your stamina?
Or should I hide to allow you,
...

Expressing one's beliefs,
Is a good thing...
To explore in the sharing,
Of those differences.
...

I wish someone would stop me,
And ask me why I peacock.
As if I am not suppose to flaunt,
My pride and dignity.
...

It is unfolding,
The disclosure...
Of the coming of a new plateau.
And on minds imposing with a showing,
...

Faking how what and who terminated,
From retired positions and when.
To generate an attention lacking,
In any of it being given to them.
...

Those unfamiliar with leadership,
Should not be expected
To understand it.
...

What am I out to prove?
What would make you think,
I am out to prove something?
...

Pressing forward with ways more reflective,
And determined to keep...
With a 'probable' consideration to change.
When the time permits.
...

I have things to lament.
You have things to lament.
I refuse to lament.
But, you stay glued to sentiments,
...

To no one's surprise,
The 'fly-by-nights' regurgitate...
For notoriety purposes that is plagiarized.
Believing what they add to discovery is originality.
...
