Smile, Fake And Get Paid Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Hey...
When you are in a state of denial,
And most of the people supporting you...
Have endorsed your position,
With cheers heard too?
And wish you continued success?
Why not fight for the cause,
Of expanded ridiculousness?

When it is known one represents constituents...
Too juiced with self importance.
And they have shown undenying faithfulness.
Why admit that a ship sinks?
Just pass around designer sponges during brunch.
Smile, fake and get paid.
You'll have time to remove a mask.
And in this environment with climate fixed,
No one will ask of you to remove it.
