Rising Cost At Their Expense Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

People awake today,
Seek results...
For the increasing rise,
Of their taxes enforced to pay.
Not politicians debating,
The maintaining of delusions.
From overstayed visits...
To keep them satisfied,
By a deception that keeps...
Their minds pre-occupied.

People awake today,
Seek results...
And not betrayal and division.
Presented to represent,
Decisions made...
By those who maintain,
The gaining to sustain...
Their own self interest.
Obtained as if to entertain,
A nonstop pocketing of greed.

People awake today,
Seek results to identify...
As a priority that has,
The quality of humanity...
Improved with this effort,
More realized and endeavored.
But what the people have,
To expect more of it to get...
Is the rising cost and expense it takes,
Tolerating the B.S.
With it expected for more of it made.
