Under The Spell Of Embellished Promises

The accomplishments,
Of that which has been achieved...
Is better served with observation.
Than by a spotlighted podium,
Lit to hear a litany of speeches...
Delivered with enthusiasm,
To entice a show of excitement,
By those impoverished...
Under the spell of embellished promises.
