POLITICAL GAMES FOR POLITICAL GAINS
He said
She said
They both lied
Deleted emails
Mexican wall
Polarised positions
Confrontation, not co-operation
Donald hates Muslims
Hillary loves photo-ops
Gunfire in the streets
Politicians in public washrooms
Clinton’s no lady
Trump’s an egomaniac
NRA and oil pipelines
Freedom and fairness
sacrificed to political expedience
Democracy’s dilemma decision
between bad and worse
No ‘leaders’, only selfish pedagogues
No discussion, only entrenched positions
Nobody’s right, when everybody’s wrong
Aching ears from raddled rhetoric
Public apathy – or anger
Drip….drip….drip
Make it stop
Please, make it stop!

Does Lady Liberty look like She’s hitchhiking?? Her tablet reads “Canada – or Bust” 😳
