Random Musings

One random time in class,
our teacher asked us what came first;
the chicken or the egg?
We were all divided with our answers until date…..
Today, I ask.
What came first, politics or a politician?
Our answers may seem easy,
but it’s like looking for an edge in a circle.
I asked a scientist that question,
And he replied
“A politician cannot exist without politics!”
I asked a clergy and he replied
“Man creates his own ideas……”
I asked a politician the same question,
and he told me that getting an answer 
was as incredulous as voting for two candidates
at the same time.
Soon I began to wonder whether I was politicking
my thoughts without knowing it……
