you terrify me
it’s your dishonesty
your deft spinning
of the facts
into this years
fabric of fiction
camouflage the masses
in hollowpoint buzzwords
just enough truth
makes them dangerous
There was a haunting beauty behind her eyes, beyond her sorrow, a beauty that found its way into one’s heart and led them home.
A refined and thoughtful poem - great write
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more with Jae Rose....perfectly worded....too many of these so-called prophets confusing the masses like cults.
ReplyDeleteI cant believe how long it is being allowed to go on, had anyone else behaved this way, it would have been all over already. Well expressed, kiddo. We live in hope of better days.

ReplyDeletein hollowpoint buzzwords.......and it's done so cleverly. I can only echo the above comments. I did enjoy reading your poem.
In all my 83 years, through 13 presidents, never could I have imagined the present scenario. Yes, we live in hope of better days ...

ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I am frightened to death. Whenever I think it cannot get worse, it does. Your words speak truth!
ReplyDeleteThe world is de-stabilised enough without having this leader apparently unfit to govern. Let's hope not too much damage is done before the next election.
ReplyDeleteAlexander Pope sounded the alarm about these 'fact spinners' as far back as the 18th century: '"A little learning is a dang'rous thing". A perceptive and timely poem - well rendered.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Great capture.
ReplyDeleteMe thinks they are called "lies?"
ReplyDeleteProphet or politician?
