The jeers, are all on you'

Most so called world leaders have been abused.' Than eases the task of making
Them of use.' War is always the main ploy
The shop window , that can be employed.'
The display arranged, to entice.' Never a light
On the backdrop of velvety vice.' Its mostly
About (freedom and choice) from the medium,
With strident voice.' With the marrow of humanity's senses under-mined and some
Mantra ( that all will be fine') we are embarked
On another foray.. Three cheers for sound
Reason, now..we are off with a Hip..pip..pip and Hooray...'

Horns and noise are easy...action and involvement requires measures of discomfort -- most political leaders a rabble rousers, blowhards, really only interested in personal power and the pools in their own backyards. True, God abiding statesman, are few and far between. We need more soldiers for Christ, and not fraud advocates touting presents for all under my tree. Great writing, Joe. Blessings my friend.

Sharp piece, Joe—cuts right through the noise. That last line really nails the irony.
