Analysis of Vivid and So Clear

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Some will come to see.
Then leave to sigh in disbelief.
Regardless if what is said.
To them repeatedly to hear.
Making no difference to the ones,
Ignoring a doing done to others.

Until...
They become to feel victimized.
The media is notified.
Before politicians arrive,
To 'glad-hand' for photo ops taken.
Declaring their devoted constituents,
Have been victimized.
By a truth to deny reality does exist.
Leaving them in need of urgent,
And emergency government assistance.
To undo the stress of life to live.

'Folks.
Calm down.
This inconvenience,
Has shocked us all.'

'Reality?
It does exist. It does.'

'Yes.
And I promise you,
We will do our best...
To rebuild and restore,
The missing of your normalcy.'

'So clear.
So vivid this truth appears.
Who knew,
It could be 'this' real?
It's almost as if,
Special effects have been added...
To purposely attract,
Our undivided attention to get.'

'They have.
And I would say...
The reality of it,
Has been achieved effectively!
