Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Doesn't it seem as if,
The one most opinionated...
As to who should do what to get things done,
Is seldom the one to show proof of doing anything...
...

Keep it in the right perspective.
Your faith.
Don't let nobody intercept it,
To take.
...

People depending upon their lies to tell.
And sell do quite well amongst themselves.
Until truth emerges with an effectiveness,
Emerging from kept depths to surface.
...

Only those who choose to stay upset,
By a point of view they find offends them...
Should reflect more upon the years,
The doing they've selected to get accomplished...
...

The gifts I have been given,
Were to not keep to go unwrapped.
I had been taught that lesson,
Very early to escape being entrapped...
...

Strickened with conviction,
Helps to replace...
Back pain and the carrying of weight,
Those with strapped on burdens...
...

This I don't do...
Revisit old playgrounds.
Or regret that I have left them,
To adventure, explore and experience life...
...

Peppered and salted is your tongue.
And you say you are saved.
Prepared and quick you are,
To assault and offend anyone.
...

Quietly swept in unsuspecting steps,
Towards concepts of totalitarianism.
With an autocratic rule set.
Leaving all freedoms deluded and state control.
...

How creative,
Can a repetition get?
How innovative can a mindset become,
If that mindset is conditioned...
...
