I am older than time, itself

happy Politicing.

I am older than time, itself.

My tongue is a Serpent,

with many heads,

and all of them speaking lies.

Every now and then,

I mix in some truth to convince people.

I aid Politicians.

I have driven their Political Jargon.

I stand behind their Political Promises.

I am the shadow, that you will never see,

unless you are one of the few Enlightened.

I whisper in their ear.

I tell them what the people want to hear.

Yep, quite brilliant in poetic presentation through powerful metaphor the well chosen words of contemporary times, the world is in a volitile situation as earthly politicians seek ultimate power, beguiled by the ominous serpent who whispers promises of better days ahead yet is relishing at their so easy will to be overcome by falsehoods as the populous hang on their coattails also in hope of more prosperous days ahead, the trap is set and working as planned..

Prophetic and profound, kudos poet, you caught the present mood excactly as how it is!, amazing write!!

Cynicism full on.. words to cut.. the knowledge of how to, when to. Read on one and all, this is truth laid bare start to finish experience gained right up to the last word you've left above here.. hear.

'My tongue is a Serpent,

and all of them speaking lies.'

.. and it's a killer, too

Geez, this is the truth.
It is so sad...the choices, the rhetoric...the lack of anything really being done for us...
I am so tired of politics, I want to scream.

You are not alone in that,
I'm sure.

I like it. The last month has been such a deluge of political ads. ~Jim
