The Embarrassment Of Ignorance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It can harass.
The embarrassment of ignorance.
And has yet prevented,
The overwhelming presence of it...
To convince the many who persist,
Their endorsement and support to give...
Others making devastating decisions made,
Have nothing to do...
With their lack of common sense or competence.
Or...
The appearance of it existing.

And yet,
People are expected to accept...
That only a few are upset and protesting.
Because those elected less qualified to sit,
In positions of leadership...
Have done their best to create,
A quality of life...
To interpret as getting better than ever.
For the ones who have come to appreciate,
Mental instability, madness and craze.
Representing that elusive and deluded greatness.
That better reflects,
The mindset of those who they symbolize as idols.
And have picked to follow their lead.
