A game no differently played,
Than any other sporting event.
Hyped are likes and dislikes.
With money spent to declare which team,
Has the better defense...
With a quarterback who can throw a ball,
Or a pitcher who produces...
A pitch that strikes out a batter.
Or a runner who scores without getting hit.
It's all a game of politics!
With high fees to pay on overpriced tickets.
And on each side the speeches all sound great.
As those who advertise, salivate and wait...
To see which candidate appeases the taste,
Of those who are addicted and hooked on propaganda!
Spending billions of funds...
That could have housed, fed and clothed everyone.
Moving forward with less change heard to jingle...
All who will be taxed can believe.
Lawrence S. Pertillar
