Official Statements Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

OFFICIAL STATEMENTS


Statements sweeping, gibber artificial,
too neatly cut and dried, snide, simplified,
after franking by five star initial -
wide guides, glib double talk soon set aside -
approach the truth as much as most the moon.
Validation, often prejudicial,
names chalk as cheese, cheese chalk, talks at buffoon
made to measure phrases, blurb official.
Tongue-in-cheek, weak, scared to speak, tongue tied,
the population swallows, superficial,
or should it doubt, shout out, its will's denied,
buried under balderdash judicial.

From cradle to the grave red tape surrounds
the citizen whose sick of battlegrounds

Official Statements

Statements sweeping, wide guide artificial,
too neatly cut and dried,
approach the truth as much as most the moon,
after franking by five star initial, -
name chalk as cheese, cheese chalk, talk at buffoon
with phrases made to measure, blurb official.
Tongue-in-cheek, weak, scared to speak, tongue tied,
the population swallows, superficial.
