Comment from Ulla
Yes, aren't they just! The politicians can never really be trusted. But where does that leave us all? In a no man's land with anarchy round the corner?
I liked your poem a lot. I'll know tomorrow what happened in America. Al the best. Ulla;)))

Comment from Insider98
That's already a universal truth, but they still manage to accomplish their tricks, don't they? It's very relevant and raw, which is what makes it great. Nice entry!

Comment from June Sargent
The art of illusion has been mastered through the centuries by those who would maintain control over the trusting masses. Only time will reveal what's in their bag of tricks. By then, it may be too late. Timely words of wisdom here.

Comment from Pantygynt
An excellent expose of the magician's art for a spell binding day. Oops. I'll try again. An excellent expose of the politician's art for polling day. Now which one do I mean? Perpsa I better simply say that this is an excellent 5-7-5.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written 5-7-5 poem. It is the only job I know about that you start with basically nothing and do as little as possible and just tell everyone they want to hear and after four years your are suddenly a millionaire.

Comment from rama devi
Well said! Amen. Great witty satire. Indeed, they are deceiving millions. The world is insane. This poem is a good wake up call. Direct, simple, powerfully effective. Bravo. Fine presentation too. No nits, but one suggestion to add a colon for dramatic effect and smoother flow:
