Strutting eloquence,
bedazzling in array,
a feast of feigned confidence
accepted because splendor
must be brilliant.
For it takes so much effort
just to be a paragon of pristine,
how can anyone question
this divine site
has not wisdom?
Fanning babble of presumed solutions,
bewildering in its incoherence
regarded as profound,
since no creature so endowed
isn't surely blessed
with sharpness
to match the elegant grace.
Ushered into legislative throne
after winning voter beauty contest.
Ever prancing in the new surrounding
captured by film as dance of diligence servitude.
Finding out too late,
feathered brain priorities
treated coffers as feeder,
turning budget well
into bird bath
so image kept clean,
even after dollars
become droppings.


I love the comparison that you have so masterfully written, "after dollars become droppings" is so exactly fitting.
