DAGGERS ARE OUT<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.billkochman.com\/Poetry<\/a><\/p>\n

08-16-2020<\/p>\n

All of the daggers are out,
\nIt is now the season of lies,
\nThe politicians drawing blood,
\nThey don’t think we are wise.<\/p>\n

Republicans saying one thing,
\nBut Dems retort it is not true,
\nThey all purposely confuse us,
\nSo what are we supposed to do?<\/p>\n

Truth is not important to them,
\nThe facts they choose to ignore,
\nOnly one thing they’re all after,
\nHow many votes they can score.<\/p>\n

But don’t be deceived by them,
\nThey say what you want to hear,
\nDon’t waste your time on them,
\nLet their words go out your ear.<\/p>\n

Just slice and dice each other,
\nNot caring how low they all go,
\nExposing their dirtiest secrets,
\nAnd striking the deadliest blow.<\/p>\n

Forget all decency and civility,
\nOr you won’t make it to the top,
\nI find their behavior sickening,
\nWhen will their ugliness stop?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
