America Mexico Illegal Immigration Border Fence

Rating: 5.0


flashback time truth testing
contemporary third term presidential
list orchestrated litany of lies

rewind May 2011 Obama proclaimed
preventative illegal immigration barrier fence
between border America and Mexico was

quote 'basically complete' oops
Department of Homeland Security admits
only 5% of border is fenced 36.3 miles...

hidden agenda political allies
illegal immigration border barrier fence
America Mexico 2016 resurrected

Trump Card
first Democrat...

rich Republican...

presidential
candidate
Donald Trump...

switched political party affiliations
at least five times since last century late 80s
according to documented voting records

obtained by 'The Smoking Gun'?

Trump deceives with truth; preying on prejudice
Obama deceives with lies; preying upon gullibility
Gullibility a manipulated; failure of social intelligence

in politics a shell game in which a person citizens
are easily tricked by doctored facts data fabrications
Judas goat lead into an ill-advised course of actions

catalysis created events necessary to shock stasis jaded
public into supporting next new oil invasion foreign wars
doping citizens into homeland security losing freedoms

citizens deceive themselves
naive washing their hands divorced
from accountability prophets

poets deceive no one

persecuted punished for revealing removing blinkers
from claiming ignorance innocent accountable public did
nothing citizens who desire to believe hoax political facts

all are guilty they cannot institute changes
inaction incapable cannot institute change thus
exempting themselves from trying taking

responsibility really do we believe politicians
will make decisions for the good of the public if we cannot
hold them accountable keep them partially honest

responsibility really do we believe politicians
are committed to achieving a common good
or protecting wealth privilege power of patrons

who support their campaigns line graft personal pockets?
