Who is Calling the Shots?

The frying pan by the handle

Image By Stable SDXL Prompt A politician and people around frying pan by the handle

“Long live politician, long live truth!”…

Thus,

Solemnly cried the hopeful city, aglow,

For real change, they yearned,

In words and facts, they’d bestow…

And the poor populace,

Believing every word, oh what a fuss,

Fell into the clutches of corruption’s reign.

While in the high spheres above,

Politicians wove their tales, devoid of love,

Half-cynical, they professed,

We oath, we promise, for the nation’s gain!
