The Watching Doesn't Shock Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The watching doesn't shock anymore.
Nor is the madness stopping.
Its dumping at all doors.
Unleashed, unlocked like never before.

Even pinching to awaken from it.
Doesn't do a thing but add more pain.
Even pinching to awaken from it.
Leaves it to remain to go unchanged.
Nonstop.

Keep it on your list to feel it.
Maybe one day it will go away.
To be noticed.
Keep it on your list to feel it.
To be noticed when it fades.
No longer watched.
This shocking madness that has stopped.

Keep it on your list to wish.
A disappearance of this madness to get.
One day it has to be stopped.
All the watching left to numb.
From a shocking done to drop.
Unleashed to unlock to be blocked.
