INTERMINABLE LIBERTIES

In our land of liberty
Politicians learn from puberty
To sling mud into the eye
Of the other guy
While with truth taking liberties.

And of course they always will
Make promises they can't fulfill.
It's done by both old and novice
Whether seeking the oval office
Or a spot on capital hill.

Matters not their party
Or if they're hale and hearty.
Whatever be your wish,
They promise a dainty dish,
And it isn't a la carty.

If not totally altruistic,
They're always optimistic
And brimming with confidence.
To some it makes good sense
To be opportunistic.

Changing the question to one preferred,
They're never at a loss for words.
Not highly satisfying
Is their way of vying
To be the leader of our herd.

This campaign interminable
Finally approaches its terminal.
It's been a tiresome fight
Conducted all by sound bite
With few ideas germinal.
