Help Wanted: Political Position Open
Right now,
quotas on
mud-and-hog
type demagogues
who are jellyfish-witless
were filled
quite some time ago.
Applicants that can’t
accept earth-besmirching
rants are welcomed.
Veritas Vanished
Aphorists say that
The truth is old--
Bristlecone-pine-tree-old,
And the truth is cold--
Cadaver-in-the-arctic-cold.
Granted, the truth is a lot of things,
But it’s the thing
That’s not being told.
I believe
The truth is a stranger
That’s about as foreign as an extraterrestrial.
It will never land on the lips of politicians.
That’s the truth.
