(Political Satire)
"Veiled" in hypocrisy, deviating, sleazy blends
Propagate devious, crooked lands.
Unappealing, stage characters,
Unsuitable to lead, unwilling to heed.
Coquet with debauchery of tongue
Pitiable phrases, frenzy of basking in absurd,
Take up perilous stands,
Sporting muddy spectacles
(unbearable clans...).
Unzealous to ascend to elegance of transparency
As the "Know-Nothing" troops - dwarfs feeble
Portraying themselves as Goliaths! Hoity-toity...
Faith ignorants with beclouded reason,
Delighting in themselves, baring the unlearned mode -
Jabber of madness... in insistent
Perpetuation of insufferable treason.
Unaware that strength rests in uncovering flaws
Achilles' heel... and, concealing fault
Is submitting to its ugly default...
Allow themselves to be guzzled away
For degraded political sway
In the main: unforeseeing audaciously,
Governing fallaciously, insane notoriously!
Touching issues that neither cerebrally
Nor spiritually can seize...
Monumental despoilers, admit triumph of collapse?!
Outbreak of grotesque, creeping mystification,
Settling in woozy fantasy - perverse link of ideas,
Falling into insupportable relapse...
Ungrounded buoyancy, relentless flippancy,
Religious laziness, rooted in intellective sleepiness;
Isn't it like "the dying saying 'hello' to the dead"?
Are the cooked up policies rouse social duty?
Warning voice? Do the tenets sharpen vital impulse?
Rob of charity? Deny humanity? Are fertile ground
For Force that endlessly blesses and exalts?
And, for jubilant sounds or are abysmal holes
For "directionless", dense moles?
Assemblage kaleidoscopic of inane plans
Put forward to caught off guard green and raw fans
Applause of the beginners, untutored and herded!
Insult me, affront me, dismiss me, I shall not recoil!
Are the ploys in work bites predacious, stabs rapacious
And, stewing rage at the unassailable Gage?
Ploys malicious, ploys fictitious
Can never usurp repute nutritious
While earthling gravely stained
Savors no enduring gain...
Still, what is of greatest import
For thee and me?
Is it the nation? Its usurpation?
Is it thee and me?
Recall... the All-Knowing Eyes -
With No disguise...
The unending
Infallible despise...
