Now, Putrid Politics 2020, General Chaos.

Rating: 5.0


I've got, lying fatigue!
We've been taken over!
Slapped and flapped
By Dishonesty!
As if we were
Dumb pancakes,
Chewed up and spit out,
Told lies, as tall as
Skyscrapers,
Then, crushed by
Illegal capers
Dishonesty used
To grab power
That will strangle
Liberty,
That will see
It's last hour.

And, there,
They are!
The Usurpers of
Life's hope and power,
Pretending to be
For the poor,
The oppressed,
When they ARE
The Oppressors
The false Trespassers
Of All Our Rights
At this decisive
Terrifying.
And terrible, Hour!

It is terrifying to have such dark angry ugliness having been voted into office by the unwary- -it is terrifying that there are so many dark and angry people with ugly hearts that support him even now. Prayers are needed. Top marks!

Powerful and very incisive write. Words that cut like the sharp blade of a knife. A cry of pain, sorrow and ultimate disgust on the system that people has to rely on in order to survive. Yes, the wind of politics is so uncertain. An unseen hand that can bring death for our dreams and hope.

I met an honest politician the other day... Oops! Sorry, there's no such thing. That's how you begin a fairy tale.
