These Elitists Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

They have concerned themselves,
More with the vote...
And not the folks.

A splitting done in Washington,
Between those conservative and liberal.

As people are living lives...
Trying to survive.
And caring less who is democratic,
Or republican!
And whose ego thrives!

While humanity lives in a suffering.
Through an economic downturn,
Procrastinators bring.
There is a quality of life rapidly evaporating.
And those in the know...
Realize this is not what they chose!

A fighting between those of selfish means...
Has some caring less who is being burned.
As long as they keep divisions seen and in vision...
With an outdated bickering...
To mask a secret thieving.
That progresses the magnitude,
Of a tremendous mess.

And what is really needed to diminish the status quo...
Is a massive psychiatric treatment that is bestowed.
And heeded to administer immediately.
Upon the minds of these elitists.
Crazed to represent days,
Long gone that even then made no sense.
Not if it led their followers,
To today's demented conflicts.
