Partly Political Broadcast
Campaign season yet again
Booted, suited women and men
The time of party politics
People delivering rhetoric
Schmoozing, smarmy, politicos
Kiss babies heads, why who knows?
Press all the flesh that they can find
Of people whose views align
Tense photo opportunities
Results in passive immunity
Scenarios are composed
For those with views juxtaposed
Party bigwigs all congregate
Getting ready to postulate
Delivering their procrastinations
Read from notes with annotations
Preaching at the assembled throng
Who’ve been waiting all along
For delivery of these speeches
Behind lecterns stand the preachers
Words spouted with great relish
Emphasised and embellished
Words and pauses form the stanza
That defines the party mantra
The smoke and mirrors policies
Machine gunned at high velocity
Towards their target audience
Ideas without provenance
Are proffered to the hungry folk
Into their brains each morsel soaks
The audience devours it
Never questions if it's legit
Applause follows each sound bite
There for grass roots to recite
Rabble rousing ovations
Follows each and every oration
But this is no great surprise
No other view to compromise
Party faithful start to bleet
For at heart they're all sheep
