They say that love is blind, my friends
But politics is blinder
Forgive me if you’ve heard this
But we all need a reminder
So if, when viewing media
It all seems out of kilter
Remember what you’re seeing there
Is coming through a filter
The punditry is windy
And our studies all are showing
It pays to raise a question
On the way their wind is blowing
Sincerity’s abandoned
And the truth is getting shafted
In that room where every morning
All the talking points are crafted
So when a politician tells you
All that she’ll deliver
You shouldn’t get a tingle
Rather, I suggest a shiver
And if somebody mentions
It’s all over but the shouting
Remember the old adage
That there’s benefit in doubting
If you thrive on incredulity
You’ve really had a feast
Under B. Hussein Obama
Distrust has just increased
For none have broken faith
With such impunity as he
And when his term is done
That’s what his legacy will be
Beware the empty promises
And choirs that they shout them to
And even from your favorites, son
You’d better learn to doubt them too
I know I come across as cranky
Jaundiced and dyspeptic
But if you ask my party…
I’m an Independent Skeptic
