Too Ethnically Diversified
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
With credit given,
To those certified as being qualified.
And deemed committed to permit,
An opportunity to deepen their debts.
To then be approved,
For more loans to get to have accepted.
Without it to question delayed payments.
Months behind yet to receive.
Although leaving people like this,
Often upset to protest against...
The state of a floundering economy.
To wonder why the cost and price of living,
Has begun to rise out of reach.
Done to hear the people blame to claim,
The reason and cause...
Of their their quality of life,
Is a democracy that has become weakened.
By too much ethnic diversity.
And not the ones in positions to sit,
Incompetent.
As if children playing roles to be leaders.
But unfamiliar,
With the meaning to use common sense.
'We won our seats.
Elected to positions of leadership.'
'Okay.
That sounds great.
Now...
Who are you going to place the blame on,
For being incapable to do it?'
'Do what?'
'You know LEAD.
As leaders should.
Making the effort to endeavor.
Other than criticize, deceive and tell lies.'
'What are you saying?'
'It was easy for you to credit your debts.
Without it to question,
Your capability to prove you could repay,
What you received to get.
And here you are now sitting,
With a giving of an opportunity...
To verify before your supporters,
You will prove without question...
Your abilities and capabilities,
Are more than worth...
Their money spent to endorse,
Your contagious and effective campaign!
Aren't you excited about that?'
'Uh...
Yes.
Yes, of course.'
