Simply Put Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Simply put...
She is running,
For the Office of Vice President of America.
And she should bring her 'A' game with her,
Always!

She governs Alaska.
Prior to that...
She held the position of mayor.

That folks have lowered their expectations,
To dismiss the possibility
Her performance might expose a further degradation...
Is indicative of an addiction to a mediocrity affliction!

Simply put...
She is 'not' being interviewed,
To become a classroom substitute teacher!

She...
If elected.
May just become,
The president of The United States.
And there is more at stake...
Than how she will be treated by her opponent,
During a nationally televised Vice Presidential debate.

Wake up people!
Those of you asleep at the gates,
Awaiting for an amusement park to open!

Haven't the sign of these times we live...
Introduced any hints of reality at all?
Games of vollyball and hide and seek...
Are not on the horizon to be played.
Masks of masquerades paraded to charade...
Have from your standards and values,
Quickly faded.

Simply put!
Although a frightening premise...
That may come to all to lay underfoot!
