Voters Remorse

slowly crept the familiar warmth of fetid fallacy
a tidal wave of stealthy lies
oozing its vile variations of truthfulness
immobilizing the wit and wisdom of intelligence

silencing within a dismal darkness 
all resistance to its expanding greed
pandering to the pathetic pathos
of crumb collecting collaborators

A cleverly-crafted political poem; highly topical!! You may like my "Election Misdirection" and "The Political Game" poems, along a similar theme. Regards, John.
