Magic wand being that forked tongue huh? mesmerizing the multitudes.
pretty darn good Dude.

I have no words to express how I feel about politicians. Actually, I do have a few words to express my feelings about politicians but I won’t use them because if I did I might get banned from Triond.

This is very creative. well-done. I love how you compare a politician to a lover. A lover will promise you the moon starts and sky at once but does he fulfill his promise that’s a different story. Lol. The politician magician performs a trick to get the people to vote for him. “the magic spell works out for a time until it subsides.” Getting the nation to vote for him is all that matters now. “the magic spells works out for a time until it subsides.”

Politics. The art of manipulation. Witty poem.
I am still waiting to see an honest politician. And by honest, I also mean not cheating the citizens and not cheating on his own wife.

My thoughts on politicans are that they make thing disappear and reappear in their pockets, excellent post.

I completely agree… And they perform the ‘vanishing act’ once they are elected. Good poem.

He\’s like a magician. Oh well, politicians can sometimes behave like a magician. They said \”yes\” then they can said \”no\” Clicked you \”liked it\”

Kabayan, I’m now starting to worry about our incoming elections here in Philippines.

LOL I agree totally.

Politician rhymes with magician. lol.

WEll penned piece.

A very creative piece of writing with a clever use of metaphor. A politician is like a magician: performs deceptive tricks to get what he wants.A great share.
Monica.

A very interesting picture of a politician you have painted here, Kabayan.

Well written, we have a general election coming up and there is only one thing I am sure of – you can’t trust any of them!

Thanks for all the comments. To Frances, it’s a coincidence that the UK and the Philippines will both have the national elections this coming May. Let’s just hope for the best or anything less bitter to come our way.

Nice poem, Will. Very timely but for me politicians are like ‘toothpaste’ models. Notice how they smile a lot. OMG… So creepy as if some wolves in disguises… he he!

I don’t know much about politics, but one thing for sure, you wrote this poem very well, creative.

nicely expressed…i hate politicians but not all..99% only

a very good write

actually this was such a good idea for a write

I’m sorry Frank, I suppose I took your prospective ideas for poetry. Well, it seem human occupations are interesting fields to be inspired about.

The politicians here in the U.S. aren\’t fooling anyone, anymore. They are overpaid and arrogant and very few of them care about anything other than getting re-elected to stay in power. Hopefully, we\’ll vote them all out in our Novermber mid-term election. Very creative poem, Will.
