Shouldn't we be calling us the United Souls of Anaesthesia? man...how many times you want to hear the same bull until you realize that it comes from the wrong hole of the politicians?


Poem Artwork




Every four years I got a monkey
I got a lying monkey on my back
promise the world for one banana
or a Primary Vote, just like that.

But after the damn election’s gone,
he cover his hears with his hands,
because all of us about his promises
are shouting for an answer, we all ask.

He will cover his eyes, the whole truth
apparently to see, he will never want,
or take a peek even between the fingers
to assure himself he isn’t going blind.

His mouth you will no see talking,
he will have covered also with his hands,
because he haven’t go no more promises
after voting for him, pawned is your life.

You are right on with this one, they make all those promises and then screw the people in the end, as Felix said it is the same here in Canada. Thank you for sharing Georg.

I am voting-casting adrift on the Mores of a system that needs a Doer rather than a Talker. What power-when truth comes marching in. enjoyed

I say we lure them all down, as we peel our yellow skins and coax them into taking a bite of what we can hand them...and we can force them to tie their own hands behind their backs and watch how the fruit can be baked into bread!

You're always getting me "into" your pen...now I'm wallowing in this ink! :)
So loved it!

NONE of the two governing parties's candidates has an admistration plan. They repeat the same decoy and offer the same LURE. The PLUTOCRATS play asking for votes. They don't need them; the system guarantees their SEAT, and they keep exchanging turns. They serve PLUTOCRACY, OLIGARCHY and the LORDS of WALL Street.

Let the politically blind see the gates to the big SLAVEYARD that they are building in USA.

As long AS we don't understand that we must obey the Constitution of USA ~ demanding the CONGRESS to obey the same. Makes no difference who plays with dogs and gods of Industrial WARS in the OVAL OFFICE. They are servants of the PLUTOCRACY, and will remaiN that way until the people learn the simple words of the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

I have enjoyed the reading of an outstanding political poem, and am glad that there are still people that can see ~and define the difference. "A monkey on my back" rings the bells of social awareness.

In admiration,

Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

I have an Idea, the three monkeys should be a mandatory architectural feature on top of all so called democratic parlaiment houses, just to remind us. Bless you! Jasmin Horst

Got that right, Georg, they say anything they want you to hear to get you to vote for them; they get into office, poop on those who put 'em there. They forget whom they serve...sad. Enough is enough. When are we going to stand up?

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Outstanding write Georg
Many promises made of changes
Till the day elected then all
Of the promises are store away in the Attic of mind!

Excellent write, Georg, and so true. The politicians want you to vote as long as it is in THEIR best interests; forget the average citizen! Sad!! Very well penned; bravo!
