That Would Be Devastating Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

That Would Be Devastating



How is he preparing for the next debate?

'That's hard for us to determine,
As of this date.'

Why?

'Well...
He's great during our practice sessions.
To make sure the public is informed.
But somehow he is still not convinced,
That eliminating the facts to use against his opponent...
Is not the way to win.'

What do you think is behind his strategy?

'We have no clue.
But hopefully he will realize...
The people have become fantasized,
By the image his opponent presents.
And using the facts as truth to prove,
To the people they have been duped...
Is what he has to do! '

I wonder if it would be to his benefit,
If he chose to expose to the people...
He was fluent in the speaking of Chinese?
And if he is not re-elected...
The Chinese will demand immediate payment,
Of those trillions of dollars...
They have invested in keeping us all delusioned.

'We have already suggested that.
But during the last conference we had with Big Bird,
A different tactic is guaranteed to awaken all the people.
You see...
The opponent has no idea,
How powerful Sesame Street really is.'

You don't think he is prepared to use Big Bird's recommendations,
As his secret weapon?

'Not only do I think he is going to use Big Bird.
But the entire cast of Sesame Street.'

That would be devastating for any opponent,
If he decided to do so.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Boy Lawrence, you hit that one on the head. I don't think the bauble heads understand that their great benefactor will promise them the sun, the moon, and the stars but will never deliver anything but enslavement and the tearing down of those who are actually productive and whose tide in the past carried the rudderless idiots along in a sea of prosperity. Good message in your poem. If the Republicats manage to win, they had better deliver the goods because the wolves with the pea brains are getting hungrier.
