  Larry D. Thomas

The Politician


 

His smile is fixed in porcelain,

pat as his tossings of toddlers.

The chameleon of character,

he luxuriates in the ever

 

changing hues of eloquence,

dazzling his audience with the fine,

crystal prisms of his words,

pulling them from his pockets

 

like rabbits from a hat.

A prostitute to constituency,

cold as the marble of hallowed halls,

he glides on the grease of polish,

 

dealing his ethics like a deck of cards.
