I Found It. And It Works! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

'One should not live,
With a prioritized agenda...
To persistently feed a greeding,
Fed to disenfranchise the lives of our fellowmen.
Together we can and could accept our differences,
To respect our ethnic contributions.
And embrace one another in unity! '

It must be close to election time.

~Why do you say that? ~

It was just last week that same person said,
'I earned every dime I had.
No one help me to achieve my success.
Any money I've accumulated and stored in hidden accounts,
I have in various offshore banks...
Is my business and my wife can attest to that.
People need to get up off their backsides and find a job.'

~Well...
you know we must all give him a benefit of a doubt.
Perhaps he has had a change of heart.~

Yeah, right.
His heart began to change when his opponent,
Began to rise in the polls after that convention.
And that convention was the best thing I've seen,
To motivate people since TV was invented.
Every speaker came to the podium with one intention.
One united purpose.

~And what was that? ~

To capitvate and electrify!
And the convention those other folks had?
I taped it!

~Why?
For what reason? ~

My doctor told me I should find something...
Something other than sleeping pills to aid my sleep.
I found it.
And it works!
The sheep I use to repeatedly count,
Are relieved I don't need them any more.
