Politicians

Faceless shadows in expensive suits,
Spitting crimson tides of bloody promises.
Lies seeping like honey from swollen lips,
A lava flow of sugary deception.
Babies crying, clutched in taloned hands,
Flashes of white, a false pretense captured by willing vultures.
Subduing the masses with droning platitudes,
Hungry mouths swallowing the meaningless tirade.
With breath held and eyes wide shut,
The sheeple follow with mindless abandon.
Lapping at the stagnant waves of untruths,
Of politicians.
