The Puppet Master, the Man of the Century

You know his name, and you see him here and there.
He’s the man who controlled the campaign of Bush.
He’s the one who dangles the administration like puppets.
Try to shove, he never budged, try to Push
And He only pushed back….
My good man, you controlled us all with your choreographed lies
The TV was your center stage, and Bush was the one who rolled the die.
When Our president denied being one for such as governer, you saw differently.
Yes, you saw a man of dignity and courage, a man who fumbled in business and government. You proved us all wrong.
Even the simplest of men should have a high rank in society.
Simple by the mind, enough for you to see that golden pig at the end of the oil and sand road.
Yes, you saw a man who had a wallet bigger than his mouth.
That is why you, Karl Rove, are the man of the Century!
You tricked us all in to thinking he was capable of running us.
And not once, but TWICE we commoners never saw past the fuss.
You tricked us with our own patriotism, and you used our tears and our pride to bring about the man who would construct the most unacceptable and un-needed conflict of the new millennium!
Ladies and Gentleman, Karl Rove, the man of the Century!
Sure fire proof that we as one are genius, and we as a mass are stupid.

well a different read at least for me, i find the core of anger at deception, not once, but twice and can not help remembering the saying "you fooled me once shame on you , you fooled me twice shame on me" not being an American I can not comment any more other than to say a good expression of justified anger if there is such a thing.lol

Freakin' Fantastic. An awesome tribute to a true con-artist. I love this. Absolutely refreshing.

Pretty powerful stuff in this.  I like people who say what is on their mind - and you did that.  I am looking forward to reading more of your writing.  Thank you for sharing your thoughts about mine and it's nice to meet you.
