Tall claims and vain boasts-
a nation sits in paper-boats
of false vows and fake oaths
Shoutings, howlings of big names,
TV anchors all aflame,
Foul exchange of angry blames
little Pond and huge whales,
swallowing rights on large scales,
leaving us to groan and wail
Those we’ve never seen before,
beg for votes from door-to-door,
on their knees, nay, all fours
taking risks there is no room-
who is making fool of whom?
Let us see whose fate will bloom
This alone, our dire need:
Save us from all fraud and greed-
Bless us, God, with honest lead!
