Who Are You

You play us like a classical musician. 
You baffle us with numbers like the finest mathematician.
You hit us with the facts a master statistician.
You tell us one thing then take a juxta position.
You light the touch paper then watch ignition. 
You wake up the natives causing sedition.
You stand by and watch children die of malnutrition.
You pull bunny's from hats like a stage  magician.  

Who are you, well I'm a Politician !
