[hometext] => "The politician's only true friend - deceit."
[bodytext] => It’s called deceit No matter WHAT the goals They try to meet Just politics laid bare For ANYONE To stand and stare We learn this lesson We learn it well They find it hard The truth to tell The ends justify the means That’s the way they see it Just another excuse For endless deceit In the end we went along Thinking “It’s for the best.” And NOW? Does it seem we can really rest? Easy in our beds at night? All terror locked out of sight? Or just NEW dangers now out there? Strangers who stand and stare With a brainless president Who thinks in braile With a crew of demons Beyond the pale It was all deceit Do you see it now? You may wonder 'Why?' You may wonder HOW? By using your deepest fears And so many deceitful words They manipulated you all Into their obedient herds You believed they would protect you As you cowered timorous as a mouse You believed them as they walked you Straight to another slaughterhouse [comments] => 0 [counter] => 186 [topic] => 41 [informant] => Steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )
