Politics as Usual

I know I should NEVER watch the news or read the paper. When I do, this is what happens!


They think I believe
their outrageous bullshit.
They think I’m naïve, or
some silly optimist.
What choice did we have?
Professional geezer
with “rogue” idiot in tow
Or TV preacher, hawking snake oil
to the gullible masses.
A chorus of yammering,
what they think can be sold,
“Just keep the rube’s pacified.”
as they play three card monte,
odds stacked toward their house.
Am I the only wanting
to scrap the whole damn shebang
and start over completely?

  1. I don't know as I want to scrap everything and start over, but I understand those who do.
