Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Who we are to become labelled,
Is a fact of life that exists.
Many living with wishes,
To change all of this...
...

When in Rome,
One should adjust to do...
Those activities that Romans choose.
It is not one's place,
...

My brother in law, AL
Is such a wonderful guy.
He doesn't walk on water...
But if he thought he could,
...

You know I love You...
And would never place anything else,
Above You!
YOU are My Father,
...

The glow of colored sunsets,
Makes me think again...
Of places I've been,
And where tomorrow brings me.
...

To bait me into a debate,
With a belief I'd get upset...
To be placed into a position,
To defend against an opposition...
...

A spoiled child will always believe,
Lieing has its benefits.
Even when they age,
To mask their insecurities...
...

If I could trade off my moody disposition,
For one that didn't openly convey...
Something done has struck a nerve.
And I didn't feel deserving,
...

They are here...
Those pyramids.
Precise and standing,
For thousands of years.
...

On the other side of the light they are.
On the other side of that brightness.
Never to become that shooting star.
That travels the universe...
...
