"Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises, for never intending to go beyond promise, it cost nothing." E. Burke
PAINTED PICTURES
Painted pictures meant to inspire
An art for which politicians conspire
A canvas of roses and clear blue skies
Hide a web of most deceitful lies
Statues built to look upon
Meant to confuse the vulnerable ones
Grand productions like Broadway plays
"Vote for me if you want better days!"
Campaign promises evaporated
Flowery rhetoric proved exaggerated
Those now in office become aloof
Until lies on film are used as proof
