He perched upon a throne so high
Unable to see Just below and under
Stood so many of us in fury and wonder
But not at him, at his ghastly blunder!
He once vowed with his palm facing us
That he would abide by Constitutional Laws,
But taken by power and riches and lust
Greedy politician betrays the voters!
And excuses run in his every syllable
As he tugs along the weight of his crimes
that makes him into mostly a criminal,
Corruption, murder, larceny for a dime!
Teeth gritted and shaking with blue hatred
We loathe the laws he propels on us
For his very own profit is catered
Leaving us with soggy crumbles!
"It's a blunder, you Idiot!" we think
again and again we shall never vote for you,
But lo! He plays the political game,
And there! he wins the elections again!
Written for Margaret's 'Play It Again!' at Imaginary Garden With Real Toads!
I have used two of the three challenges given by Margaret that I'd never written for before:
- Get Listed- The Grapeling Way! It is a wordle written in Grapling's style. (I've triied my best to use the style as described by Kerry here)!
- Kenia's Wednesday Challenge- Hilda Hilst & writing to 'inconformity'! Here Kenia asks us to write a poem about 'political or social inconformity' inspired by A paulista poetess Hilda Hilst!
Thank you Margaret, Grapeling and Kenia for such an interesting prompt!
