Political Truth

Two words almost clashes
Tongue gets slippery
Tongue gets rolling
Words spoken like religion
Repeated like a prayer
Sworn like it’s the velvet truth
This service words
Spoken by wealth hunters
Hunting for popularity
Preaching policies
Making promises publicly
Making threats privately

Polished speeches
Makes preachers envy
Tongue turning sorrow
Into hope, making tomorrow
Seem brighter and this
My friend this
This is the Political Truth

It fades like paint drying
Like pictures in the dark
What once was ain’t no more
Politically it is still a success
Buttering their own bread in both side
They rewrite their empty promises
Presents them as full delivery
Convincing the masses that
It ain’t the same any more

Convincing the masses that it would get better
Definitely it does, but for who
So they start penning down blames
Gathering those they can point at
As they continue to feed the nation with
The political truth,

But what is the Political truth you ask,

Joe thinks it’s the flashy presidential ride,
The blue light convoy,
Hotel lifestyle
Hot air life style
Whore ass life style

Political what?
The international trips
Mining rights and wrongs
Big deals in china,
Sorry meant to say for your chana
Elevaton of own images
on posters and walls
seeking fame like a pop-star

the luxury
the fame
the women
and the men too for the women’
exchenge of favors
making sure mzansi continue to belong
to the elite few
while the rest
squatter at the feet of success
with no hope for tomorrow
except for when tomorrow is election day
and the nation is pregnant with hope
only to give birth to the next
still born “Freedom”


Political truth
Is the question mark
On why there is more resolutions
Than actions…
On why employments figures are shocking
In such a big successful country
It’s the why hospitals are feared
The why school kids are raped in school yards

The why our nation is constantly on strike
The why are the fat cats getting fatter and fatter
While the masses gets finer and finer
Dizzier and dizzier

Blue light convoy…
Another, mp?
Oh, it’s the cop
Where is my bribe wallet?
This is the political liar!!
