Please Pinch Me Cheeks
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Whether found to find fortunate or not,
These mind awakening times to live...
Are definitely moving away and fast,
From a normalcy once to have...
Rules and laws with standards to value,
Upheld to follow and obey.
Today?
Captivating,
And given undivided attention?
Are those mentally ill.
Given support and endorsement,
For destroying the quality...
And a way of life,
To end their own entitlements.
For the purpose and intention to be seen,
As being in the majority that determines...
How sick those deluded,
With shallow fictioned minds can get.
Because of a created threat to fear,
The eliminating of their own worshipped...
False to praise,
Images to idolize...
The 'appearance' of greatness.
And...
The threat,
Of what is portrayed and false...
Being stolen away from them.
To be replaced by truth and its reality.
'Please pinch me cheeks.
Me cheeks disbelieve,
What's going on leaving many so numb.'
'Okay.
It's your call, my brutha!'
'Me said pinch me cheeks.
Not to pat me butt then pinch me face.'
'Me?
I visit here from the islands.
When you people come to us and visit?
And request massage?
You want face pinched,
To bring back youth.
Then butt to rub and pat,
Wishing memories to come back.
From past acts we try to do but can not.
Now...
What's going on to disbelieve?
Is the pleasure people receive.
Leaving the stunned to numbness.'
'Look.
People are being numbed,
By a way of life they disbelieve...
Is getting everyday more crazy.'
'I see.
And you,
Seek your butt pinched?
Face slapped?
Into an ecstasy,
That leaves you pleasured?
And...
This done to do for you...free?'
'I have already paid enough,
Deluding myself into a fiction frenzy.
How much would you charge me,
To pinch me cheeks until I awakened?'
'Turn around.'
'Turn around, why?'
'My fee depends upon,
How well you please...
My dimple fetish!'
'Are you MAD?'
'No.
Not yet.
Why?
Should I be?'
