On Politics

Politics has always fascinated me. What boy has not wanted to be the leader of his country, raise up the people, be praised, lead great armies, destroy others, bomb the crap out of his enemies and kill things. Now that girls are getting into the game politics is getting even more entertaining and intense. It's a wonderful sport and entertainment. Unless you actually want to get things done. Then it can get tedious. Politics is one of "those" topics that people always want to avoid. Mainly because they want to avoid arguments, shouting matches, people swearing at each other, and revealing to each other how little they know about what is really going on. I seem to have no problem with revealing how little I know and how ignorant I am, and so I am publishing this book. It is not a deep analysis of politics in any sense of the word. It is a collection of poems written about politics. Politics has always lent itself to epic poetry; from the Homer's Ilead and Odyssey to Dr. Suess's political dissertation on The Lorax. This tome does not come anywhere near meeting those giants in thought, but is hopefully entertaining and thought provoking in its own right.
