The virus of politics

Bruce Jefferson Rose 1949 (Alabama)

The virus of politics

Calling all that  listen
To the mishmash in the air
The  candidate of groundhog day
In opposition well coiffed hay
Accuracy is a rarity
A hoax a sham a forgery
The cause of this
The fault is his
The riots of peace
Mirrored in tweets
 as hollywood toots
Celebrites root
One love no likes
  in america today
