#politicisans
unburdened by knowledge
or traditions of polite civility
some powermongers
brazenly
demand attention of the media
force their way onto title pages
assuming that bland lies
combined with contradictions
and outrageous stupidities
mostly echoing sycophantic TV news
will satisfy their followers
ensure their loyalty
and even guarantee
their reelection into higher office
there is a tendency
to underestimate ‘the people’
they usually take their time to watch
and talk and reconsider
after all
one does not lightly
throw away the expectations
one has projected onto the preferred
then comes the point
when ruthless ignorance
and greed for power
become too obvious
too much
people no longer do approve
the powermonger tumbles from his throne
his reign remembered as a somber blob
in people’s history
