Unlocked Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Hey, hey, hey...
People keep your dreams.
Hey, hey, hey...
Don't let them be demeaned.
Hey, hey, hey...
What is on the scene to be seen,
Is change.
Stop complaining to find blame.

What had been recycled had to end.
And...
Moving forward must today begin.
To knock away what blocked it.
Like an earthquake that rocks.
To leave all people shakened,
From their heads to their sox.
Unraveling to find them unlocked.
All minds.
Unraveling to find them unblocked.
To find...
The future has arrived to like,
Or not.

Some oppose what they see,
And it shows.
But,
The future has arrived to like,
Or not.
Some want more of yesterday to know.
But,
The future has arrived and won't be,
Stopped.

People keep your dreams.
Hey, hey, hey...
Kept dreams can't be demeaned.
Hey, hey, hey...
Even through upheaval,
People have survived the change.
And to make claims...
This was done with enlightened,
Unlocked brains.

Detached from the past.
And to forget what had stayed...
Recycled to repeat,
An unchanged sameness...
That had to go to leave them fast.
