So what's with the shock
bordering on mockery
when pols persist
on breaking crockery
just as they pledged
to do when they ran.
Did you think, “Really,
it's only a scam
on their supporters”,
they winked at reporters,
“I wouldn't really do THAT!”?
The THAT in question
being whatever fell
out one day
from under their hat.
Donnie pledged to end
rules from “Big Brother”.
(Except for gay marriage
and pregnant ladies.)
Lizzie would nationalize
your father and mother
and if you don't like it,
tell you, “Go to Hades.”
Today's candidates are not disguising
that they are totally
uncompromising.
No half measures will do for them.
They only know: you lose, I win.
This is why peace is harder than war.
At war you're sure what you're fighting
for.
Whereas, at peace the name of the game
is just making sure we all think the
same
and to do that you hafta be willin'
to do anything short of actual killin'
all who oppose you, all those who are
villains
even though some may be just Swedish
children.
Election season is no time to be reasonable.
Attempts at reason are seen as treasonable.
