Political Warriors Poem by Buxton Shippy
Political Warriors
Political warriors kill
Without a touch
With weapons of fear,
Division and strife
They snare
With a narrative of lies
Political warriors kill
Without a touch
They travel the nations
With their synthetic smiles
Hugging women and babies
For a photo op
Spend millions of dollars
To capture the airwaves
When the people are in need
Cannot find one to stand up
Political warriors kill
Without a touch
To cease power
Some cannibalize
These beasts are fierce
Relentless,
Deadly and wise

Man you have described the greatest truth of the world politics. I liked your sarcastic term 'political warriors'. You have done a great job by depicting their fake humanity in the most original style. The poem is rich in imagery and depth. Excellent stuff. A fine 10. Please read and rate my poem 'A deal in helplessness' on page 1.
