No Time To Waste It Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Clarity to have,
During these times...
Removing clouds from minds.
Is an awesome thing to possess.
Especially during a crisis.
Imminent and severe.
Affecting an entire nation of citizens.
And...
More it becomes too obvious,
Who it is that rises...
To strengthen our confidence.
With a showing of their competence.

And who it is that continues to be,
Posturing that image of leadership.
And that's it!
Proving at each appearance,
To be completely disconnected.
Switched off and out of it.

Since time to pass judgement,
No one has this to waste.
Awaiting for someone like this,
Taking yet another opportunity...
To shine.

When these times many have found to find,
Knowing to comprehend and made to understand...
One amongst them to have picked,
To sit in a position of leadership.
Has not a hint or clue,
What it is a true leader does to do!

Proving this embarrassment,
Has given them more of an incentive to prepare...
For the unexpected.
Ignoring the expected to have been elected.
Without having an awareness detected.
That values the needs of human beings!

"What a negative and horrible assessment."

-Of the times we live or the leadership? -

"Well...uh...uh..."

-Take your time.
Obviously you have that to waste.
More are awakening,
For steps for themselves to make.
Not hesitating at all to move forward! -
