One Public Embarrassment



It has taken,
Just one public embarrassment.
To allow the creation,
Of wide spread chaos and division.
Among the people following along,
A craze intentionally made to begin...
Distrust between themselves.
Without truth to use as proof and evidence.
Leaving the people unconscious to fiction,
An image to delude...
Is enough to refuse reality as is.

Dire is this situation.
As a quality of life,
Is sent to gutters to expect will survive.
And yet one who lies, frauds and deceives,
Has many believing...
It is up to justice,
Nowhere near soon to be applied.
Has the courage enough,
To prevent and stop this ongoing stuff...
From effectively ruining,
Their spoiled entitled rights to live lives...
Without one who embarrasses,
This quality of greatness taken for granted.
For a narcissistic ego to please.
And heard declaring publicly,
An opportunity to destroy everything.
If not chosen again to lead,
A job not finished to ensure it done.

Yet left to leave,
Everyone cheering and applauding,
Their own demise!
Not in disguise.
But right before the ears and eyes,
To hear and believe to see...
Not the possibilities but an expectation,
Delivered with a fascination that ends...
The fiction of their fantasies.

Reality and the truth of it,
Is as is to be.
To be believed or not to happen.
Without assumptions to allege the facts!
Repeated to revisit throughout history.
Done to rewrite images of heros.
Or the depiction,
Of false victories to claim them!
Reviewed to imitate!
