hot air and blather

it's mostly

talk,

hot air, blather,

about what to do about

the war,

about the migrants,

crime

and

poverty.

so much to say

about

racism,

the unsolvable problems

of the day.

but it's their job

to strike

the gavel,

to rise at the podium

and get elected,

making promises,

promises to the masses

that they'll deliver

better days.
