Politician Vs Statesman
Not to feel empty
one must constantly feed
the savage pangs of power –
It is a hunger insatiable...
whose members, a soulless tribe,
lacing their opposing arrows
with venoms of fear, envy
and false claims of racism –
no true emotional investment
in their themes, – simply rhetoric,
designed to sickly take-down and
not healthfully propagate – the only
count mattering to them are the
tallies: how much and how
many, the sum of each manically
crafted victory...while losing
more ground of self,
hand in hand
with the Devil
of the day....
