~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


what a country-

network sideshow comedians imitating political bozos
tickling neurotic neurons universal laughter

ho- ho-he
he-he-ho
ho –ha -he
how -he –haw

omg I can’t see the difference
only the controlled distance
of mindless bodies in embrace

omg they seethe and despise
they mount the pretensions
of the silliest of things

shaking hands bobbing heads

I wonder where’s the brains without eyes?
are they really wise?
and know where to hide
from the collective sigh?

from this lonely race
echoing lies deceit
and spreading conceit

the masses sing
miming psalms

ho- ho-he
he-he-ho
ho –ha -he
he –haw-ho

what do I know anyway

Many who are misguided by the media's misleading message might as well be blind. People should start using their brains to see things as they really are and not be misinformed.

Very intuitive poem. The media has become an echo chamber of our political scene, which is no news but all talk. Mislead and misdirect... how will we ever see with that kind of blindness? Thank you!

I've no idea who to vote for this election, both the main characters are basically cartoon characters in their own right, but without their own early morning cartoons. Maybe if we all wrote in someone like Bugs Bunny or the Tasmanian devil, maybe then will we have a good president, or are the main two already the bunny & the devil...

to laugh at the absurbity of the current state of affairs indeed - let loose a belly full as it heightens further into the ridiculous - we the people has become a joke

It's good to read your work again. I'm glad that this strange situation got you writing again and posting your concern.

The good thing about our country is we can withstand bad leaders and give them only a few years of power before we find out who they really are and can toss them out. The TV show, Brain Dead, is doing a good job of showing us what's going on in Washington these days.

Oh, how much more can we stand? The nation should join together and put them both in prison. Thank you for lightening things up!
