Politics…the art of deception
Dependent on misplaced perception
Where evil is good, where black is white
Fiction is truth, and most wrongs are right
The fight for power and all that goes with it
Where double-talk hypocrisy’s entirely legit
Good citizens, need not believe all they hear
Political promises are rarely sincere
Stanley Cooper
