Unplugged Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

That 'normalcy'.
Once to have had.
With it wanted to wish back.
Is undergoing an updated,
Fresh face of change.
Representing advancements.
Made to enhance humanity.

Leaping over restrictions,
Limited.
To exhibited old and stale,
Outdated ways.
Supported to endorse...
Crusted embellished memories.

Clearing from its covered roots,
Truth and beliefs to fiction.
Covered to smother up,
For centuries.

'We want delusion.
And...
Our fictionalized lives to live,
Returned back to us intact.'
Scream and shout,
Exclaim those strapped.
To a past gone.
Like any past to have had goes.
Being pushed away.
Hushed.
From a spotlight dimming.
Rusted from dust.
And unplugged!
