Authenticity
Where lies
the authenticity of promises
in the absence of action?
I see the dirt in politics,
forming a cycle.
Strong words are mere tactics
in a struggle or power.
Candidates resemble actors on stage.
Their scripts filled with lines
we wish to hear
but mixed with truth and lies
that tend to play with our fears
Yet how many times have we seen,
problems repeating after the election
and the leader who seemed so keen,
fail to keep his word to his nation?
