They Say He's a Loser

Propaganda has stood the test of time Seeping lies into desperate minds People jump on bandwagons of hate Worried and confused about their fate A less glamorous expression 'fake news' People don't care, they just want to accuse With all the lies floating about Means I prefer to remain in doubt There's a grain of truth in every lie A pre-prepared robust alibi How are the likes of me supposed to know How could I see through political stage show I just think anyone trained to be a politician Is enshrined in eternal perdition They just want the power and the glory Uncaring about the poor man's story But listen to what the 'poor' men shout They are voting them in, what's that about? The whole thing is at odds, seems irredeemable An honest politician seems inconceivable This guy lost a tip of a finger that much is true But it doesn't look like benefits did accrue He's working class, that bit I liked But the corruption leaves me a little less psyched He's not president now, so that bits wrong But he might be back before too long He's not all bad from what I've read There's likely a different version to be heard instead Who knows how perceptions are formed With media corruption leaving us ill informed Popularity and following the crowd Listening to who shouts loud Quiet contemplation, check out alternate views Don't rely on what is on the news I choose to stay away from politics There's less futile ways to get your kicks They Say He's A Loser Poetry Contest 17th April 2023 Sponsored by: Joe Maverick
