The Proud Politician
he stands in the halls of power
standing tall and proud
he is a shining star
a champion for the people
his smile looks sincere
his gestures are compassionate
a beacon of hope for the future
but all are pretentiously deceptive
a charmer who kisses babies
kiss the hands of the elderly
shed tears when someone dies
is it the loss of votes you regret
he soothes the masses
with his smooth voice
promises to cure all ills
and to build cities of utopia
pretentious politician quit your lies
the people are tired
of your empty nice stories
they can see through your façade
they listen to you and smirk
in utter unbelief
you're just comic relief.

Politics are corrupted. Better the devil we know than the devil we don't know. Keep on writing.

I always say, it's in the eyes, regardless of how good they look or what they say, it's in the eyes.
Well done.
Well done.

I was observing this one politician, and I cant help noticing that his smile seemed so fixed. I am sure he had cheek cramps afterwards. Thanks for reading Wally.
