Happy is the person
who dresses and dines themselves well,
always maintaining a fresh, warm,
and ever-pleasant smile

The world which revolves around them
may be deemed a basket from hell,
but they rise above its status quo ruse,
and its painfully ill-displayed guile

Trust comes pouring forth in gallons from their schpeel,
as the cynical and gullible both alike most humbly and calmly pray;
“Let’s choose a decent person to divert these talons of evil,
tell them what they want to hear and make them go away”

“The sad news is,
my fellow Americans,
that politics, like carcinoma,
has been spreading all over the USA...

Do tell, Bluesy, do tell!
To me it is like propaganda politics, the real fake news calling the pot black. I will say this about the brown trickle-down from Capitol Hill seems to be fertilizing grass roots movements and that is a good thing when the people get involved. ~L

Politics was front and center during the last election. And for most of the people was very, very much involved to keep a certain person out of the White House

In a world full of opinions, Miss Lori, mine is that "Politics" is not a public service,
it's a lucrative occupation.

Too bad for me that I chose another line of work...
although the two had many similarities.
