Is Sarah Palin the new face of America and American women. We were waiting for a woman rep with open arms but her! We don't want a Marilyn Monroe or a Barbie doll. Even Hillary didn't become the butt of jokes and cartoons and bufoonry (Tina Fey) as she has. A cheap image and nothing serious about her to look forward to. She has no real issues to speak about except prattling. She comes across quarter-baked before the world. Is this the ridicule American politics wants to attract when Bush has dented America and political image in the wake of failures in Afghanistan and Iraq and elsewhere. Loss of life and tax payers' dollars. How is America going to rebuild itself and come out of financial disasters etc - with Palin! There is no dearth of political talent in the US that one has to choose her. After these elections, forget VP, it'll be difficult for her to sustain as Alaska Governor. A political novice has been thrust on US voters, who is shooting her mouth left, right and center with no worries about tomorrow. McCain is McPain with her around. US voters are not desperate even if she remains the last choice.
Both McCain and Palin are akin
They will together end up in a bin
To American voters’ chagrin
They are creating a false din
She is acting as an enkephalin
Swimming against the tide sans fin
Sporting an artificial grin
Is she Pied Piper of Hamlin?
She will soon be out if she is now “in”
This is politics and no sports of javelin
This combo pack is kidding us all – kith and kin
Pea brain and glamour puss tastes bitter like luputin
McPalin Siamese twins comes across as a maudlin
A controversial babe equalling nafcillin
No patch on Hillary, acts as an oxyntomodulin
She is the one and only – Sarah Pa(l)in
Vogue or vague, no camaraderie, she is a quin
Beast or best, she is a live example of ratlin
After elections, she will get on her shin
An empty vessel makes sounds of tin
This loose cannon will end up as an urobilin
A bitter voice is sounding like violin
Inexperienced cuss can never win
Two seconds of fame, soon she will be exitin(g)
With skeletons in her cupboard, she is mainly a yin
Post November, from Alaska she will for good go to Zlin
Still Living on my Feet is the follow up to Tichaona Chinyelu’s first book, In the Whirlwind, which was rooted in a sense of hard-hitting revolutionary black love. However, in this sophomore effort, Tichaona brings the revolutionary essence from deep
