Making The 'Mal' Poem Easy



As if
a politician putting on a moral face
by having it that he won't be told directly
who has donated to his campaign,
isn't having it that he'll be told in-directly:

'Advise me to invite so-and-so
to watch my daughter's train.'

'...Damn it man
what's wrong with your perception?
If you want to have it easy:
Advise me
to invite
who has donated
to my daughter's wedding
and her wedding reception.'
