Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

With that mind that you have,
And all the things that you can do...
Why you only chase,
The money?
...

Blessed and not confused about it!
Not at all.
No longer chasing rainbows,
Rabbit feet or four leaf clovers.
...

The only people attempting to get something for free,
Are those blocking the road...
Preventing the ones from claiming,
What rightfully belongs to them.
...

She had bigger gonads than Goliath!
Oh yes she did!
She introduced me to her boyfriend.
And I was living still at the crib!
...

Long have I traveled to deny them!
Things I had obtained...
Just to prove a success I've gained!
...

So many times I'd wonder where you'd be.
Whether you were home alone,
Sitting by the phone like me?
I wanted to call you...
...

Wanting...
With deepening needs,
That haunt me.
No one suspects,
...

We have terrific news to announce this morning!
According to our 'Get Off Your Ass Index'...
Or as we affectionally have come to call it,
The GOYA! ...'Go-YEAH' for those of you
...

Life is a dance.
And on this Earth
Those steps take place!
Some with rhythm...
...

Being alone is not half bad
Once you've been 'I.D.-ed'
Crazy and mad!
And watching others go into mental fits.
...
