I wrote this after reading an extended exchange of political opinion between friends of mine. Needless to say, it became hateful and personal; not at all what friends should do to each other, espeacially ove politics.

Personal Pukey Politics
By Franklin Price

Personal pukey politics
Which I have seen today
Is detrimental to the ones
Who don't care what they say

Risking years of friendship
To defend the party line
Makes me sick to think of it
Whether the party's yours or mine

The dirty nasty comments
From both sides of the aisle
When transferred to the populous
Corrupt the rank and file

No contact is required
To play these  silly stupid  games
Over idiotic politics
We call each other nasty names

Mass media makes it possible
To stir the chamber pot
And spread the stink to everyone
Whether we are friends or not

Rise above this spreading stink
Climb the hill to reach fresh air
Stop this stupid bickering
Value friendship if you care
