How Dare He Not Need Us Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

How Dare He Not Need Us



He...
'That' one,
Should be punished!

'Why? '

He promised to take public money,
To finance his campaign!
The money we worked hard for,
And donated towards those running
For political office!

'He changed his mind!
Saying he preferred not to do that.
He wanted to find another way...
Than to diminish the public trust!
That is the reason why he didn't take it! '

But that makes us angry!
He did not give us one opportunity...
Not one chance to deny him.
Or throw that in his face...
If we chose to do so!

We are outraged by his arrogance!
How dare he not need us?
His success has been enormous.
This is appalling.
Where is the justice in this?
We want his virtue and integrity investigated.

What makes him think he is better,
Than the thieves and crooks...
We have grown accustomed!
He has chosen to be honest?
And 'this' is not reflective,
Of our way of life.
How can we trust him,
To represent our interests?
