political magic

show me an
honest politician
and I'll show
you an
illusion
created by
the best magician
who ever
drew breath
a master of
double walls
smoke &
mirrors

i might believe
that the
empire state building
took flight &
left its
manhattan anchor
but i will
never believe
that the vowels &
constonants that
slide like
smooth grits from
the mouths
of people bought
with votes &
pac bucks
are related to
the thing we
call
reality

the best politician
is the best
liar
the best
stickup man
the best
torture murderer of
the soul
of amerika
the best rapist
of our rights
the finest
worker of voodoo
roots
black magic mojo
gris-gris
carving the neck
of our
collective chicken
over a pit
of bloody
deeds
