Vince Suzadail Jr. Poet Narrative

Already Established

Political figures have a way of looking at things
And changing to gray what is black and white
Projecting an image of integrity
Then selling their mothers because the price was right
They separate themselves from their people
Building an ivory tower
Their minds are corrupted 
By greed and by power
Would you sell your soul for a billion dollars?
They answer yes, We wouldn’t think twice
How about two dollars? What do you think we are? 
Already established, now let’s negotiate price.

Michael Torres October 6, 2008 at 6:49 PM correction.... fund your campaign....

Michael Torres October 6, 2008 at 6:47 PM Vince I agree. Money certainly corrupts. They can accommodate their words to please who they want to. Very few are sincere. Its hard when you make friends like the special interest that found your campaign and then the favor is returned and you compromise yourself. Excellent write. Blessings Michael .. Thank you for your thoughtful comments...

Anne Christine October 6, 2008 at 6:30 PM Such true words. They should have the peoples best interest at heart, not their own. You wrote this with dignity. I respect this poem. Anne-Marie Chritine

Trudy Diane Rider October 6, 2008 at 6:27 PM Cold hard truth..well written. And thank you for your comments on my featured poem. :) ~Trudy~

Elaine George October 6, 2008 at 2:08 PM You always head the nail right on the head. It always boils down to power and greed. Lainie

Fathima Dawood October 6, 2008 at 12:28 AM Hehehe, nice one Vince. Our political situation here in SA is just laughable. 13 of our cabinet ministers resigned after our president was chased out of his chair by the ex vice president (who is still facing charges for rape and murder and fraud and theft from our money!!!) makes you smile - doesn't it!! Peace Fathima

Christopher Higgins October 4, 2008 at 7:35 AM They will sell anything for the right price and wouldn't think twice about it. They are without a conscience and their veins are loved by ice water. Bless brother.
