Debates Now Irrelevant
They are many: No longer Relevant: Motions you’d better rule irrelevant, To seek their points to around gallivant; I won’t read The Written by Oliphant… “We are not happier than our forefathers”. Should men stop climbing Today’s ladders? “Boys more important to parents than Girls!” Simply, a motion that a boy’s head swells “Women’s Education for The Kitchen” Then, ‘Men’s’ for Shoe-Mending and Cloth-Stitching. “Watching...

Premium Member 20 Politicians Standing On a Wall - An Allegory of the Democratic Debates
Twenty politicians standing on a wall Oh what fun to see some fall, Blabber, blabber, rue the day They talk and talk but little say. Yet they shout and argue too About what I challenge you To then repeat what they have said, The mere thought just blows my head. Each loves the sound of their own voice And stand before us...

Real Debates Hard To Find
There is no trace of them on face book, No matter how hard you look, It is no better, To go on Twitter, And you would not want to be talked in, To having a debate on LinkedIn. Letters to the Editor are now, Just for show, At most meetings you are kicked out at nine, Which leaves too short a time, For the subject...

I need to break out, I need to break through, It’s all about me and squat about you. Lord let me shine, put me to test Show them my mettle, my very true best. I’m in this to win, don’t stand in my way, I’ve always been great to make voter’s sway, I’ll do and I’ll say whatever I need, My ultimate...

Medusa Or Sexy Siren, Memory Debates I felt it was time to just let the hell go, walking away while you screamed and cursed. There was no fight then made just for show an instant decision, one I never rehearsed. Whiskey had me ready to battle, fight a war my nerves were shot but courage filled me. I remember that day-...

The Debates
Too filled with psycho babble sounds of the rabble in the political world, the mind swirls through din that leaves no enlightenment, only the spin. Enough of the lightbulb grins that switch in glib sound bites to a frown that televises ... obfuscate. Questions unanswered to the depleted emcee who is there only to obscure with his own vapid view. Saturated with the fawning plastic faces standing in a...
