The Politics Of A Foreign Nation Poem by Matthew Holloway

The politics of a foreign nation
Play out across all media
Part story part exaggeration
Leaving us left to pick apart
The threads of what actually is
The racists and the bigots
The criminals and the traitors
All with wealthy backing
All with news channels on side
Launch attacks on each other
Play hyperbole over ideas
Singing the songs of sensationalists
All those campaign promises
Another country another time zone
Another news story to catch up on
Watching with some interest
The politics of a foreign nation
