Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Attitudes.
Cemented and fixed in stubbornness.
And displaying a selfishness.
With beliefs amendments document,
...

There is no consoling,
Those who are controlling.
Sometimes experiences they have had...
Gives them a certain insight.
...

Walk,
With your palms open.
And I will keep you fed.
Remember,
...

If we are not here to give and receive...
Why are we blessed with arms to reach.
And hands to offer,
What we have to share?
...

So close to forever...
Yesterday we were.
But today's realities,
Have hampered our dreams...
...

Do as you must,
To accomplish that
Which fulfills your desires.
...

We can not blame anyone for ripping someone off!
Have we not extended blessings...
To anyone acquiring opulence.
And living to feed gluttony,
...

My mother would have my sister and I...
As kids,
To go look for a nice sized switch.
Then strip it before she whipped us with it!
...

I've witnessed manipulators,
Come and go.
A few had used techniques...
As easily as massaging a couple of egos.
...

Twice,
There would be goodbyes...
Spoken.
With hearts broken.
...
