Politics
by Dale Neibaur, 1973
How Pointless!
The runaround;
Endless game
Of hide and seek,
Of coy and shy
And "look who hides behind my eyes!"
The laughter hid
Or forced too loud;
Deliberate fraud.
Avoiding glance,
Enchanting stare,
Arms interlocked
Playing
"Catch as catch can!"
! ! Run ! !
(But not too fast, or you'll leave them behind.)
Inevitable
The wandering glance;
A new romance.
Exit the old in
Tears
Fears
Enshrouding deception
Blinding Truth
Anger
Hurt.
How Pointless!

But
* * *
How Inevitable.
