Charmed By Disaster Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Leaders to defend them.
Were leaders reliable.
Unquestionably competent with confidence.
Leaders who sat in positions committed.
Dedicated to purpose.
And integrity to witness.
Stimulating to many to immulate it.
Today...
Leaders are lamented with sentiments of embarrassment.
Mutilating their positions,
With incompetence and ill advised decisions.
Yet...
Remain captivating.
And overwhelmingly supported.
By those charmed by disaster.
With an addicting dose,
Of repetitious chaos.
Many followers will not admit,
Has for them become a habit.
A welcomed hazard.
And a need for it.
As quick as they can get.
Regardless of how detrimental,
The effects of this has...
On their slowly decaying minds.
