Amity


My own photo!



Politicians seem the friendliest
When elections are nearest
They always wear a smile
To conceal their cunning guile

To win the hearts of voters
They are quick with handshakes
They lift the children to peck their cheeks
And please the moms with such ease

They make all kinds of wild promises
To bring the moon and meet your needs
If only you vote to make them succeed
Only to be forgotten when they win

They unfailingly hold a grudge
Against those who don't oblige
And make for bitter enemies
To innocent people like me!

When will politicians ever learn? 
That with humility and service they can earn
The goodwill of voters and people they need
But they need some traits to stand them in good stead.

Let me say my piece:

“Amity is virtue…
Amity is the best policy…
Amity is the magic word…
Amity is the key to success…”

Boom!!!

  3. What a strong and beautiful ending. Politicians do need a great deal of amity and humility to lead. Sadly, many of them lack these attributes. From Write Girl : )

  5. Hey Amity! Doing some sort of catharsis, eh? I understand perfectly what you say about politicians; but let me tell you that even the good ones cannot please everybody no matter how great a work they may be doing. I agree with you, though, when you say that politicians should never forget whom they work for and who put them there. I hope you are well, my darling :D. Cheers
