Promises Blown

Like it or not
the eventuality is crossing
that of a strong lobbying
and a sort of bullying
a process of distorting
truth and relying on lies
has become the fashion of the day
going in for a strike
and getting in for a blow
both might happen
as we do not know
which side is strong
and which is not
as the power lies
with powerful and
also with the wealthy.
The discrimination
of who is good
and trustworthy
and who is bad
and treacherous
lies in the hands of the
commoners who
pose a strength but
who get stuck in the middle
enticed by the gifts
that are distributed
and promises thrown through
but blows out in the air
