[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => All the liars are now on parade As we take part in this charade If democracy meant power it would be banned I’m sure on this point you understand The fix is in as much as it may be It’s now down to the few and to the lazy Even so when it is this close One or the other gets a fatal dose A democratic dictatorship then ensues As the vanquished disappear from the news First past the post and the world is yours Even with minority vote your vision endures And you can act as if a landslide was And in all those pots insert your claws Oh yes, democracy such a fine idea Once each four year pick a new fear Who’ll be the one to be given carte lanche? To your chosen despot an avalanche The gravy train folks are out for number one To pick your pocket and bury your son A democratic dictatorship is the modern way You get your vote and they get their way Put up or shut up that’s what they want As their devious lies come back to haunt Just place your ‘X’ or punch your chad Then sit back and realise that you’ve been had In a sytem of cynics you HAVE no power As money screams hour on hour They do as IT says, NEVER you The backers have the attention of the political crew Don’t think democracy is what they say It’s just a device to make sure you pay Taxes without power, but shush, don’t speak It’s treason for desire to come from the weak In a land where the dollar really IS king Do you truly believe you’ll be GIVEN a thing? So here you are, see the liars parade Take your pick from this charade At the end of all your sober deliberation It’s big business that decides on your libation The elites control as they always have Bread and circuses make you behave As they keep the fantasy running on tap Holding you forever in their trap But, after all is said and done Your vote is much better than a gun Go out and give it your best shot It’s better to have it than to not The Business Party has two halves That together divide the holy calves Bush and Kerry are ALMOST the same Though Kerry this time IS most sane His direction WOULD lead in a better way Will America choose it? Who can say? But in the end there is one honest man And he is the one Kerry hated to stand It shows just how bad things REALLY are When your regular liar is the shining star But nadir is the man who SHOULD be king But the one who’ll come away with barely a thing So it goes. So it is. All hype and lies. Such duplicity we should despise What you really feel doesn’t count for ***** All that matters is what you DO with it But ignore all this. Go do it. It’s a special time. The Kerry Hope versus The Bushie Slime The path of history must take a better turn Or all around us war will churn If you have the smallest hope for a brighter day Dump ugly Bush. Go the Kerry way. Don’t worry reps, the world won’t fall apart If Bushie falls from his apple cart Kerry won’t be perfect but he won’t let you down The money machine will STILL be around Pushing its influence just as before And if needs be, another war The democracy of dictatorship WILL grind on Until our consumption blacks out the sun Forget all this! It’s not the time. All things can’t be reasoned or put into rhyme A crossroad exists, a small window for us To get off this death road that’ll grind us to dust Bush and bin Laden, two sides of a coin Just choose your way, but keep in mind Your choices are few the way the game’s played Of all that’s revealed there’s so little displayed But go out and try! There’s a small chance of change To tweak, if only slightly, all that’s deranged Power politicians with their sad heads of ice Controlling our fates on a roll of their dice Go on, give it a try! Do your very best! Use your damn vote! Aand then you can test The things that they SAY with the things that they’ll DO But always remember, they ALL lie to you But when you get down to it, it’s all you have That and to protest. Go out and be brave! Don’t ever let them sucker you with more of the same HERE’S where we START to CHANGE their game! --O//O//-- I urge ever decent compassionate soul to vote Kerry and to dump the liar Bush. For our children and their childrens and for their children's children. Let us finally have an end to the stupidity and nightmare that was Bush Whatever the result he WILL go. Sometime he WILL go. Let's make it NOW.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
