There Is A Burning Need Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

There Is A Burning Need



There is a burning desire,
To have copies of his birth certificate...
To validate his leadership.
As those disgruntled demand!

There is a burning need,
To have his college degrees...
Scanned for evidence he can think,
On his feet and on one foot stand!

And as their misdeeds bleed from them,
A quality of life that comes to an end...
They want to accuse him of being incompetent!
Although...
He has been the most qualified amongst them,
They have ever seen!

They have a need to dump their irresponsibilities,
On someone less accountable.
And he has made 'one' mistake...
Proving he can ignore,
All of their foolish pleas!
He is no fool and this they see.

He is just too much,
For their limited mental capabilities.
And this outrages...
Those who wish to see him defeated,
And on his knees.

And that's their only focus.
Those on a sinking boat show!
Their bigotries and racist visions...
Slowly sinks to disappear,
A once floating boat they have destroyed!

'HELP! HELP! '

~I am here for you.~

'Oh no. Not 'you'.
We seek someone more...
'Relatable'.

HELP! HELP! '
