All...Fall Out! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

All...fall out!
A disturbance growing has been spotted.
Tieing folks up in knots.
But has to be blocked and stopped!

Fall out!
Arise from your kingdom wishes.
Awaken from your slumberdom.
And 'zippy dee doo dahs'
You have found delicious.

Blazing 'bling' you sought to buy,
Has glazed your eyes to hypnotize you asleep.
You allowed those creepers upon your peace.
To leave you thoughtless...
Insecure and weak.

Unphased you remain in a daze too deep.
But nothing you declare is yours...
Settles in your stomach,
As nourishment to eat!

All...fall out!
No parade is at rest here.
Your attention is demanded.
There has been a change in this atmosphere.
Your wish to solicit an 'at ease' will not come.
You are ordered to combat an ignorance...
That must be overcome and done!

A viciousness keeps those unconscious,
And transfixed.
In a hopelessness...
No one can afford to continue to dismiss.
Or in a sharing of despair.

All...fall out!
And everyone of you beware!
We have embarked on a new plateau.
And the command given...
Is for all of you to care!
And NOW!

All...fall out!
Silence! You doubters!
Not a peep.
Not a mumble.
QUIET!
Close your mouths!
