Lawrence S. Pertillar Games Poems

Intelligence?
That has been outlawed
With common sense,
And accountability...
...

Getting attention made easier in steps.
These games preyed upon victims...
For test and adolescent appeal!
...

I've walked across your stages,
On many occasions.
And alone.
...

Have my childish naughty deeds,
Left me to be considered foolish...
And elementary.
By a desire to feel accountable.
...

Unruly and doing this,
Behavior to choose.
Today's children can be empathized.
By the ones who realize,
...

It should not take multiple decades.
For a people to awaken,
From self indulging their lives away.
On periods of time spent,
...

The end of indifference.
Thoughtless and selfish interests.
Racist division, conflicts and confusion.
Today,
...

Games to entertain...
To numb the pain,
And, with an effect...
That accepted addictions,
...

When that time comes,
And all that has been done...
With a leaving of those holding on,
As if each day faced...
...

The games being played today,
Are are old as those used...
By the kid who refuses,
Others to play ball in the schoolyard.
...

Game players become hooked,
Until mesmerized...
To the playing of a game,
That remains the same unchanged.
...

Wait.
I just heard what you said.
And it has to be a joke?
Or you believe I am the ultimate fool.
...

Things will be said about the one once ignored.
The one once a joke,
And providing laughing fodder...
To those who fidget.
...

Dodge ball,
And games of tag and hide-and-seek...
Have left populations of adults,
Stunted!
...
