REAL NEWS REPORT: Easy Way To Steal an Election
In recognition of elections in the United States and elsewhere on this troubled Globe, I offer up the following:
Platform in hand claiming new convention
Political pundits’ cry for attention
The electorate looks the other way
Saying `why bother’ in the end, we still pay
Each Party claims: `light at the end of the tunnel‘
Yet the money gets siphoned as quick as water down a funnel
With words like: Promise, Trust and, Honesty, increasingly typical
The populace has reason to grow more tired and cynical
This vile condition breeds chronic mistrust and skepticism
And a country void of a future and dwindling optimism.
Change To Timeless Promises
Change, to timeless promises, sinks
Into the depths of mental madness;
Driven there by the energies
Expended upon reflection;
Bringing tangled weaves of
Truth to hypocrisies seen;
Weaned on the milked teat
Of societal dream’s rhetoric;
To escape to this tragedy’s
Path dis-remembered;
Each, revisited, forth year’s
First Monday’s November.
