Drama or Farce?
Viewed
through red and blue tinted spectacles,
The two
candidates perform as per script,
A political
pantomime that’s gripped
The media at
least. To raise the hackles
There’s the
villain and his dastardly schemes,
With a
reasonable heroine who charms:
Their parts
deliver pathos and alarms,
While
nothing in the plot’s quite what it seems.
With faux
audience participation
People are
moved to laughter, tears and rage,
But know
they will never be centre stage;
This drama
is not of their creation.
Both actors
appear sincere and intense
Enough to
fascinate the audience.
D. A.
