Filled With Themselves
Filled With Themselves

The smugness on Nan's face beamed a look of rebuke,
So I exited the room feeling the need to go puke.
Politics is a profession known for being cutthroat,
And each time one claims victory they smirk and gloat.
No matter what one does, other's rush to find fault,
Those with opposing views they seldom ever exalt.
They excavate past things perceived to be a flaw,
Something done or said has stuck in someone's craw.
Today, even an onion, appears to have thicker skin,
Something from our past, causes today's chagrin.
Political parties can't agree, on even a Leopard's spots,
They're filled with themselves and have to call the shots.
Politicians have become proficient in character assaults,
They destroy each other with innuendo and insults.
