Removed From Their Cracked Shells Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Remember when I said,
'Something' was unfolding?
'That' was directed for those who understood.

For those who didn't...
And find themselves still wrapped up.
Don't worry about it!
Those you once viewed as being 'nuts'
Have been recently removed,
From their cracked shells.
They have been exposed to a 'light'
The darkness of your confinement fears!

You are like a leaf...
Clinging to a tree,
That is doing its best to shake you loose.
To manifest your uselessness elsewhere.
And there is nothing to convince you...
You will never be green again!
And yet you still insist,
Upon being breast fed!
