Socially Entertaining Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

An election took place,
For a hand picked representation.
And those who went through,
The process of selection...
Knew without a doubt,
Their interests would be prioritized.

But what was done,
Was a selection of those...
Who represented 'image'.
And those surfaced pretentions,
Were those that won!

Now they conduct debates,
Trying to motivate an implementation...
Of those promises stated.

But those who made promises,
To represent image...
Are too incompetent to deliver,
An accountability...
That a socially entertaining personality,
Is hard pressed to comprehend.

And...
How what it is that they do,
Can be remotely associated with disappointment!
Since attending all high profiled parties to network,
Is exactly what they are qualified to accomplish.

A creation of a defeat had been done.
With a guarantee of it to fill the atmosphere.
But no one expected it to be theirs,
With an abundance of polluted air...
As a shared bonus for their successful efforts.
