Theory, the concubine of profundity and
eternal source of cocktail party rhetoric
abounds among the political click…
What will resonate with voters as they sit
and pick their next messiah?
Hollow promises rebound, shot back
to the not so trusting public, alas and alack,
gentlemen and ladies, gals and guys,
everyday people awash in vitriol spewed by
candidates intent on out-mucking each other.
Pelted by debris falling from my TV
one too many times to see the screen and
with a simple click silence the beast
now blank and docile in my living room only to hear
the echoes amplified
within my cave’s stone walls.
