Those Fantasy Years Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Scratch off your list
Any decisions you may have
About 'your' wishes.
We have begun to distance you,
And those in pursuit...
From the 'wish' business!

Those fantasy years,
Have been erased!
They have been replaced.
And/or severly reduced...
For a quick,
And timed-released usage!
An explicit seriousness,
Has got to be sold!

Anyone objecting,
Will find their popcorn...
Too stale, too salty
Not fit to eat!
And too old to sell...
On these streets of hell,
Today!

Those films stocked with delightful,
Talking animated animals...
Are currently being deleted,
For quick adult escapes.
To make accountability,
No longer some else's responsibility!

Competent thought levels,
Must be reached.
Wipe those tears...
And tie up those 'sneaks'!
Pull up those jeans,
That show your butt cheeks!

A traumaticized reality...
Although not test marketed,
In modern memory...
Is overdue!
And will be enforced!
