Magical Peace Released
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
From who or what will come,
Unleashing the presence done.
Of a magical peace.
For all to witness, feel and keep believed.
In an unforgettable foreverness.
Descending upon them,
Through clouded yet clearing blue skies.
And none appear stunned.
Shocked nor amazed.
But stand quietly.
As if expecting with accepting,
Devoted faith.
Understanding the mysterious ways if God.
'Look!
Not at me but up.
What on Earth could that possibly be?'
'These days?
Anything seen descending from the sky?
Is possible.
Although...
It dies appear to me to be,
One of those huge and tremendous...
Rotating weather balloons.
Tilting then to wobble back and forth.
Changing shapes and colors.
Either twerking or mimicking,
The doing of a lap dance.'
'Yeah.
And have you noticed this...
Since weed has been legalized?
Even birds seem nolonger interested,
In flying.
No.
But will swagger around everywhere.
Believing themselves to be ALL THAT.
Demanding not popcorn but corn chips.'
'Look up now at that thing.
Now it's flashing signs,
About where to find...
A two piece chicken meal.
For less than a dollar.
With proof to produce a coupon.'
'I know.
And perhaps that is probably the reason why,
The people stood anticipating...
With excited eyes staring with them wide.
Are now leaving in droves.
Expecting something else,
To at least pretend to be interested.'
'And another thing.
Do you hear the slightest sound,
Coming from whatever that is?'
'No.
None at all.
Why?'
'Just curious to wonder,
If it was tilting to wobble back and forth.
As if to mimic a doing of a lap dance?
That thing knows nothing about,
Throwing a party.'
'WHAT?'
'Think about it.
Nevermind.
Did you see that?
It disappeared.'
'How many times have I told you,
To say stuff that is appropriate.
And keep your opinions to yourself?
I would disappear from you too,
If I could.'
'Did we see or not see what we saw?'
'I saw a flying strange looking object.
And whatever it was that you saw,
Please don't tell anyone you were with me.
I don't drink or do drugs.'
'I guess that's suppose to be...funny?
I would laugh but your dated material,
Is as old as that lie!'
'I don't.'
'Oh?
And who is the one rushing around to buy,
Christmas gifts in the month of May?
MAY!'
'Let's stay civil and peaceful!'
'Oh?
And what is that suppose to mean?
Huh?'
