MASTER OF SELF-PROMOTION
He Was A Master Of Self-Promotion
Who Treated His Job As An Entitlement
Rather Than As An Opportunity To Serve
And He Was An Unrepentant Menace
To The Cause Of Good Government

Enlightened Opposition To His Adolescent Outbursts
Were Treated With Verbal Threats
And He Contemptuously Cast Aside Critics
When They Challenged The Courses
He Chose To Elevate His Ego

His Perspective On The Community
Was Colored By His Obsession With Self
And He Arrogated Unto Himself
The Pernicious Powers Of A Despot

Whenever His Constituents Disagreed
With His Narrow Outlook On Life
He And His Army Of Acolytes
Would Launch Violent Assaults
Against Arguments That Exposed His Arrogance

Although He Pretended To Care
About The Welfare Of His Faithful Followers
He Plundered The City’s Assets
With His Self-Serving Schemes

As The Official Representative
For Big-Time Developers, Incompetent Allies
And Rich Men Of Means
He Paid Lip Serve To The Poor
And His Policies Kept Them In Poverty

He Neglected The Neighborhoods
Blocked The Growth Of Business
Increased The Size Of His Security Staff
And Alienated The City’s Allies

Foul Language And Verbal Abuses
Were The Intimidating Tools He Used
To Show His Contempt And Hostility
For Both His Blind Admirers
And The Detractors That He Despised

When Speaking To His Obsequious Servants
He Substituted Rhetoric For Reason
And He Used His Political Power
To Silence The Enemies Of His Interest
