Making Sense Of Politics 

          

Even the stones are agreed

that it’s time for a break,

that a change is as good

as the best one can do

under the watch of the stars,

and were it not for the shark

Tyrannosaurus, The King,

would never be crowned. 

Even those in the know

are aware of the fact,

and those who are not

can always be brought

to the bidding of those

who’ve nothing to lose

but a life they do not deserve.
