Distraction and Other Games Politicians Play

A Poem by Neville

the truth as I see it .. and no kidding .. 🤍

Distraction and Other Games Politicians Play

The name Epstein, sounds German, or Jewish to me

what do you guys all think ..

Well, to be honest, we don’t really know, or care

anymore whether it sounds

perhaps Yiddish, Teutonic, oriental, or something

completely different that which

might fall beyond, outside or between any such

brand, marker, tag, label, logo or sign ..

You see we have cried, for so long and so hard that

we can’t see, or cry anymore ..

We are lost, like so many other victims are lost to

such well-versed, political greed ..

Whereas all those high hungry churches, temples

and once pretty cathedrals

still burning out there hide behind their hypocrisies ..

But even all that, doesn’t alter the fact

they continue to use and abuse such vilified names

as a foil, or as a shield, to both

disrupt and distract, from what is really going on in

the world, behind closed doors

and all of these deliberately clouded smokescreens

they throw in the air, while systematised

bombing, killing, maiming and legitimatised genocide

go unchecked in Kiev, Gaza and Syria

just to name, a few of the big ones, so go on, I double

dare you to take a good, long and hard

look at the news headlines today and if afterwards ..

You are not completely blinded too,

then you will almost certainly begin to see what I mean ..

Author's Note

Sometimes but increasingly often these days, one has to look deeper than what they want one to see and to believe in. That is of course if you want to see clearly. They are very good at playing games ..

Nothing wrong with my eyes. I can see we are being pedaled continually a shed load of mistruths. I do not know any longer what or who to believe. I do know that democracy ain’t what it used to be and there are alot of powerful people in the world ( money speaks volumes) who have an agenda that most others don’t know about. War makes money while millions die. Yes, there’s a lot going on. We live in dangerous and dark times. Lots to ponder on here Neville.
