A Politicians Promises

Your Words fall like rain drops And there meanings disappear They just melt away Like a snow flake on a rainy day Politicians promises soon fade away Would I like to buy a chocolate fire guard Or the autograph of the man in the moon a bubble for a spirit level they are snake oil salesmen Politicians promises soon fade away like unicorns and gorgons Politicians promises are myths they disappear like will o wisp appear like a genie of the lamp on election day Politicians promises soon fade away

Your poem made me wonder why politicians are the same everywhere.. Even poets are different at different places.. Why not politicians? Good poem..

think they are all looking for power control where ever in the world they are and are more than happy to tell you what you want to hear to get that power :-) thank you
