John Pen Poet Free verse

Who Is Fooling Who

Once more
I hear those tales
Uttered with potent persuasion
In the quest for self-preservation
Half-truths and half lies
Lots of lows but yet no highs
I don’t know who to believe
I have my vote to give
Who is gonna receive?

Paul Callus April 3, 2014 at 10:12 AM Well and persuasively expressed. Is it too much to ask for a clean electoral campaign!! Good thing we have a mind to judge and decide! // paul John Pen April 25, 2014 at 12:51 AM Thanks for your comment Paul

Demetrios Trifiatis April 2, 2014 at 9:58 AM An acute conception of politics and politicians! As long as the good wouldn't govern the bad will have the upper hand but who is good or who is bad only you my friend can say! Delightful and true poem!
