Vince Suzadail Jr. Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

                                                                                                  

Reversal of Thought

Amidst the chaos and conventions
The political ads with evil intentions
The truth was twisted and left to die
Watch the rich man laugh and the poor man cry
We had conservatives in our youth
Who had some connection to the truth
Power and greed, corruption and deceit
Have taken the battle into the street
Represent the people, they no longer can
losing connection to the common man
He's still conservative but he no longer buys
Assaults on the White House with innuendo and lies
He fears that the truth may never be found
Lost in the minds of leaders unsound
To win at the polls regardless of cost
Even if the country is lost
To rebuild a nation with the economy broken
Cannot be cured by lies that are spoken
Better ideals and integrity sought
The truth will bring a reversal of thought.

The actual twisting of the truth by  Lyin' Ryan at the RNC
was an embarrassment to any American.

Lena Emp May 26, 2014 at 6:31 AM Every politics has own motives, we don't even know which is good or not. This express real deal. Reality bites.

Allan Koven June 30, 2013 at 12:24 PM As a right of central voter, I disagree. We are a nation of many different viewpoints. That is why we have a two party system. If we were all Dems, we would be like Russia or Chna. We are not, we are all Americans not born of a single mold but created in freedom of speech and choice. Joe Maverick December 10, 2021 at 2:53 PM True comment Vince, the thing is Sensible people want better.' As Allen but optimisam is used By puppet masters with deeper Pockets than Trump even' yet Awareness is happening Australia Is alert now' I think the situation will change there then how will the media keep it quiet ? Vince Suzadail Jr. June 30, 2013 at 1:54 PM I do agree with you, Allan. I've been in favor of conservative leadership but what I saw when I wrote this was ultra-extremist conservatism and the reversal of thought was mine. The two parties only work together to keep honest leadership out of office. Third or fourth party candidates will find it impossible to get elected without the corporate pirates backing.

Lucilla Carrillo December 17, 2012 at 5:25 PM I like this and you are so right. I pray for things to change one day. I also read If When my Time Comes. That was one great poem. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla

Debbie Guzzi November 21, 2012 at 6:01 AM I always enjoy your political writes so few of us even do them. Please soup mail me the lie of Ryan's [there were so many 1/2 truths I must of missed this one?] Happy Thanksgiving! Light & Love
