Politics Is Not A Game

Smart voters won't argue
with politicians who want
attention more than logic.
Such "leaders" are full of pretension
and maybe even pathologic.

Do not mistake dominance for respect.
It's a notion we should fully reject.
There are those who think
the two are the same,
but we will not go along
with that kind of game.
