Facetious Quips

The

government

Those in charge

Are not the best

purveyors

of truth

Fear, mongers

grasping at straws

to perpetuate their agenda.

Melodramatic unsavory people

utilize character assassination

In an attempt to Win at all cost.

They Will stop at nothing

they will use salacious gossip

They love to disparage  

at all cost

in order to

prevail.

Yet

tenacious

people

are not

easily

stocked.

They have

a firm grasp on

societal demands,

and what it takes

to succeed.
