The accomplishments, <br />Of that which has been achieved... <br />Is better served with observation. <br />Than by a spotlighted podium, <br />Lit to hear a litany of speeches... <br />Delivered with enthusiasm, <br />To entice a show of excitement, <br />By those impoverished... <br />Under the spell of embellished promises.<br /><br />Lawrence S. Pertillar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/under-the-spell-of-embellished-promises/
