POLITICS
by Charles E Minshall
____________________
Waterfalls of oratory,
Flooding hill and plain.
Lies and promises falling,
Like a bitter winter rain.
If each lie was a dollar,
I'd be willing to make a bet,
There would be no lack of money,
To pay our nations debt.

| Posted by Michael Smith on 07/30/09 at 08:29 PM Very well crafted. Excellent flow and conciseness. Thanks for sharing, Mr. Minshall.
