As Abstract As Politics

Politics is like an abstract painting
Difficult to understand
A lot of symbols
A lot of representatives
A lot of metaphors
A lot of hidden meanings
A lot of colours
Attracting but blinding the eyes 
Too simple to the eyes 
But too complex to the minds 
What's seen by the eyes
What's heard by the ears
During canvassing may not be true
We may be cheated and tricked 
Like dogs
As some people rear dogs 
Some people eat dogs
