Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Up and down so many roads...
I have traveled.
And up and down so many roads,
I carried but I dumped...
...

Concentrate...
On the game you play.
And never,
Exercise eyes.
...

We have time to debate the rise of hatred.
And the affects of racism taking place.
We have time to discriminate our preferences.
And insist to be given assistance,
...

I am suppose to be empathetic.
With a showing it to those,
Who should know better but don't.
What has been allowed,
...

You can say anything you wish about me.
But know this...
When I discovered to find,
Initiative and confidence as a benefit...
...

It is up to your love...
Whether we have a feast or famine.
It's,
Up to your love.
...

The shock of what is not,
Is more disturbing...
Than the acceptance of what is!
Once what is not,
...

Cheese balls!

Sniff them as you lick them,
Cheese balls.
...

The effects of small steps taken,
Succeeds as if one had jumped with leaps.
Especially when compared with some,
With a doing done to sit and wish...
...

Know 'something' about the game.
And how it is played.
Know 'something' about strategy,
Before believing a task to pass...
...
