Remember When He Juiced Us Up... Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The journey would never have been this treacherous,
If we had taken the direct route...
And quickly landed on Reality!
At least we had the light of the Sun with us.
Now we are in complete darkness!
And the commander is still convinced,
We are headed in the right direction!
Have you noticed...
He has not been in the cockpit one time?

Remember when he 'juiced' us up in the beginning?
By tossing to us cash and a drugged vision?
And he is doing the same thing now!
Can you sense disaster?
And his incompetence exposing faster?

'I'm wondering who and what IS in that cockpit!
And why this trip had to go through turbulence,
In the first place?
It just seems to be a wasted adventure,
To please an ego!
And the sight of it now...
Although much too late,
Has made ALL the passengers sick! '

Well stay buckled.
Whatever we land on...
Will be extremely long and bumpy!
Much longer than that joker,
Has parachuted away from us and it.
That's guaranteed.
