Was The Doing A Debacle?



Was the doing intended,
For a candidate flawed...
With blemishes and all.
A move of genius by the media.
To expose those who endorse and support,
Lies to tell and deception to believe.
In a packed town hall conference,
Witnessed to observe...
Many clapping and cheering gleefully.
Done later hear heard to exclaim,
What had been viewed nationally on TV...
Was not meant to show,
Who deludes to fiction reality...
Is the reason and cause,
The movement towards progress...
Has introduced division and racial shame.

This...
Observed to witness and clearly see,
To broadcast nationally on primetime TV.
IS...
Not only an act of genius.
But also a revelation,
Of who the people are without masks to wear.
Without adorning pretensions to imitate,
A faking to accept ethnic diversity.
Although...
Openly in town hall meetings,
With others sharing their limited beliefs.
Quick they are to applaud and cheer,
One who entertains ignorance sustained...
Has their endorsing loyalty and support.
Regardless how effective,
The doing of it...
Quickly speeds the demise,
Of their quality of life taken for granted!
Along with their dependency,
On ethnic diversity.
Representing a democracy.
Darkening with the images of colored faces.

How stupid can petty people get!

'Excuse me?
I'll have you know right now,
I...am...not...petty!'
