Impossible Art

Politics is the art of the possible
And of the impossible too
Politicians make you responsible
For all the bad things they do
The people from other countries
Despise you although they know
You’ve no power to finish this
Art of the impossible show
So you are a pariah nation
You are never an individual
It is you who waits at the stations
But still your train is not visible
It is you who’s no goal to achieve
Who is relentlessy condemned
It is you who should never be
Indistinguishable from them
Because politics is an art
Unfortunately, not a science
Every day makes a new start
Every week it’s a new alliance
Politics is the art of the possible
And of the impossible too
Should’ve been a museum fossil
But it’s not, cause one’s dreams come true.

Perhaps an art of deceit, but that too takes some amount of skill... to be treacherous. Too bad a nation is judged on the acts of it's so called 'leaders.'

Exactly so, dear Lin Lane! But the thing is, that primarily this is the world of countries, nations, governors and politics, that goes on in the long estsablished tradition of international relations. Secondly, or thirdly, its the world of people. And on the very bottom line they'd reluctuntly admit that there are individuals. Who mustn't be too different from the rest of the herd.
