Achy Maker Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Achy Maker



From head to toe.
Achy.
Sore.
Muscles tight.
Mouth closed.
Jaws together as if cemented.
Teeth clenched.
And all over I am achy.
Tense!

However...
This achy soreness I have had,
For the past 4 to 5 years.
Has promise to slowly,
From my mind and body...
To eventually disappear.
After the new year begins,
To heal and mend...
A truth and its trust,
Left abandoned to crush.
By those rushing to buy,
False hope and cures.
Sold by a frauding...
Of one specifically selling,
Deception sweetened...
To sicken further,
Their fragile mentalities!

'Your comments?
Are nothing more,
Than a fiction meant...
To sensationalized reality.
From where did you get,
Such nonsense?
Nonsense that makes no sense! '

-I heard it through rumors.
And many were told,
The same thing too! -

'By who? '

-The one who wrote the script.
Produced and directed it.
Then hired everyone,
To perform and also film...
Details of their activities.
With an editing,
Of both scripted...
And improvisational acts.
To later market.
As a documentary!
Or a movie.
If not both.
I heard the approach,
Will be unique! -

'I knew it.
Now...
Did you hear anything,
About what this...
'Docu/movie' will be called? '

-Rumor has it,
It will be called...
'IF IT HAD BEEN,
INSURRECTION!
WITH TOUCHES OF TREASON!
I WAS WATCHING TV.
AND CAN NOT BE BLAMED! '-

'Why such a long title? '

-After 4 to 5 years,
Of aches, pains and migraines.
And seeing the U.S. Capitol,
Smothered to suffer...
A democracy.
I'm hoping they never release,
Such an exaggeration of truth! -

'Yeah.
Tell me about it! '


-I just did.
Where have you been? -

'I'm not into faked news.
I prefer cartoons.
Sci-fi and the latest videos.
I like my reality...Real!
You feel me? '

-Hopefully.
When you return back home.-

'That makes no sense.'

-It will.-
