(the) Best Reflection Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Many Americans,
Of choice to see...
In movies depicted.
And advertised on TV.
Have been stunned to know,
How their pretensions overnight.
Scrutinized bright under spotlight.
Exposed with them rolled over,
Blazing hot on flaming coals.
With a shocking to amaze.
By one unphased.
And picked to represent,
The core and truth of their resentment.
No longer to delude or charade it shown.
A masquerading to reveal,
The best reflection from the inside.
To unmask it outside to make it known.
