Politics
By Northstar
my mind is
*u*
*n*
*r*
*a*
*v*
*e*
*l*
*i*
*n*
*g*
when I
turn on the news
and hear them
rambling
roll the dice
see them g$a$m$b$l$i$n$g
with the
delicate future
of this n.a.t.i.o.n
fighting
wars
based on
lying {re}citations
^r^a^i^s^i^n^g^
color coded
warning signs
so everyone is
trapped in
their own (minds)
see the approval
rating
.
.
.
.
.
drop
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
then everything
we know comes
to a stop
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
so they gotta
get him back
on top
^^^^^^^^
with their lies
and their politics
talking
>anthrax<
and >terrorists
making all the
people sick
(trying to
bring about
the apocalypse)
so nobody
can
remember the days
when we all lived
in a better way
and there was
something more
to say
(..........?)
force fed all this
double speak//double speak
see-through
illusions
their psychology
is weak
speechful figureheads
all puppets on
~strings~
and they can't back up
anything
they count on
our ignorance
and fear
as they keep chanting
"FOUR MORE YEARS"
their lack of reason
is totally obscene
second only to
their imbecilic schemes
but the polls
still show him
pulling out
a>h>e>a>d
if he wins again
I think I'd
rather be dead
than subject
to redneck
oil $$tycoons$$
making america
an animated cart@@n
with all of our
world respect
#destroyed#
as more
of our
reluctant troops
are deployed
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
and the people
go along
without giving any
thought
as to which
war is
actually being
***fought***

an example to the politically inclined, since american politics isn't on my list of writing objectives, please point out the possible examples this makes to us all, so we can further our learning experience.

The example is just as much style, structure, and skill as it is politics.
