Politicians Are Whores No. 2 – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

“You can’t trust politicians.” Bob Geldof

Politicians Are Whores No. 2

An explanatory note,
sex workers are not whores,
and whores are not sex workers,
whores are cheaters, stealers,
deceivers and the like,
they promise lies,
take your beliefs
and smile as they fillet you,
if they were a knife 
they'd be in you back,
mostly they're after your vote.
