Climbers

A political climber,
the worst of our kind.
To truths, they are deniers,
kissing ass at the right time.

Very elegent when speaking,
pulling many their way.
Their power is people,
who believe what they say.

Ask yourself a question...
would a good man want that power,
and even if he did,
wouldn't his character sour.?

Most are easy to look at.
they have the same traits
voted in social suckers
lining up at the gate.

Look at me... I'm famous,
you still wipe your ass,
I hope the lies that fall from you
puddle truths in your path.

They're big.. those social giants
we're little people in the way..
empowerd by the people...
and we can take it away.

Excellent write, Richard.

Excellent write, Richard. Politicians seem to be a necessary evil and it's too damned bad. Can't wait to see what the next four and a half years bring... Always, Cat

Neat-o

Hey this is pretty cool. Interesting topic and you have a cool way of putting it. A few lines feel kind of forced and overly long to fit the rhyme but you have some real neat phrases here, 'social suckers' etc. First good poem I've read here.

Bashing our elected officials, eh?

Good on you! *stands and applauds* Of course, my anal little red pen needs to get its two cents in: the line "wouldn’t his character sour.?" -> has extra punctuation in it. I especially loved the line "I hope the lies that fall from you puddle truths in your path." - very nicely said. I'm impressed. :~) ~Lynn (Jess K.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~ "If guns kill people, then I can blame mis-spelled words on my pencil.." - Larry the Cable Guy ~ "Driver carries less than $20 in remorse..."
