Some 'home truths' here a la the world of the politician - and some very effective language used 'deceiving minds of paying hicks '- wonder if there is actually an alternative ??

You have described magicians and politicians very well, I think.
Well rhymed, well written. And the message is all too true.
Good luck with the competition.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello mystery writer. When I saw the title of your poem, I knew I had to read it. Your poem is very insightful when exploring the lives of elected officials that hide in Washington DC and elsewhere. The last line sums it all up. Good luck in the contest.

This meets the contest requirements splendidly as you deliver a story of the life of a politician in true poetic fashion. You express their general demeanor well and speak more truth than fiction. Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

Comment from Bill Pinder
This is a very well written poem with a partly humorous, partly true message unfortunately. We would have a much better country if most of the politicians were genuine servants and not playing deceiving games of manipulation that serves themselves.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I believe your words, a politician has a tough job, a poison chalice in fact and it is not a job I would like at all because you are scrutinised constantly. I liked your descriptive words here, well said, love Dolly x

Comment from Cindy Warren
Those politicians are pretty tricky, aren't they? I don't think there's a single one I'd trust. It's hard to know who to vote for. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Susan X Smith
Ha, ha yes, it's all about themselves. Yet much as we all love to hate them, somebody has to do the job. Interesting choice of a snow globe to highlight this poem. Well, as you said, it's all done with tricks and mirrors. Good luck to the rest of us. And good luck to you in the contest.

This is a clever contest entry for - The Life of a......
It is well rhymed and has relatable content which many people would agree with, for sure.
Just a small edit, if I may.

Good luck in the contest with this enjoyable read. ~DD
