Politics of Power

Not anti political, more antipathetic to the dreamers 

claiming to represent me, yet to meet one who ever 

came close; I see ‘em as estranged egoists in flesh 

of ‘a falsehood pretending it knows what it’s doing’ - 

bit like a fiction-writer contending he’s reporting the 

truth or better yet a humorist dispassionately telling 

it as it really is - or even th’ Journalist on a because 

mission believing in what he seeks us all to see 

Then there is Joel Deane - his book ‘Catch and Kill, 

The Politics of Power’ places the ‘truth’ where it fits 

all versions of political expediency; and better yet - 

lets us see as he did. If you’d want the inside story 

without its dramatic innuendo - or explicatory post- 

scripting all after the event - then here it is, amen!
