The Politician's Speech

Call me a humble Knight who'd dismantle all corruption in catabolism watching over you even at night as our present dark moments transform through baptism to what we once enjoyed: The Light! Shielding you in my structured protoplasm as I take you all to new heights. Definitely, I expect criticism but they should guide our flight. As we come together to function like one Organism. Please listen to me and sit tight. I'm not here to steal your minds as in alcoholism not to cause a campaign fight cos they may break the Country's nerves condemning it to a state of National Autism Your burdens, I'll carry with all my might and doing otherwise? I consider Cannibalism.

A good politician can speak for hours and say nothing. The promises never meant to keep. I liked this one.

Funom - Another message filled with phrasing so unique. National autism, structured protoplasm. That last line tops it all off. Where do you live? love, Kathy
