"Nov 6, 2012"  by Joe DiMino


Time for
An honest man!
The people cried;
And not another
Vain politician;
As God said:
If truth first
No need
For Acts
Of Contrition;
But self-centered men
Are full
Of belated
Confession—
Satisfying
The ego first,
And latter
Filthy rich
And reclined
For the soul—
Vote for me
I’ll do better,
Next time around
If first term
You feel let down—
Just don’t blame me
For America’s decline
All some other’s fault
And never
This divine….
