Are YOU fooled yet?

Like Magic​

I once saw a magician
He was really very good
But none of it was magic
If I’d only understood

That he captured my attention
And received a great ovation
By some crafty misdirection
And rehearsed manipulation

Sparks came from his fingers
And when the smoke had cleared
My card, my keys, my rabbit
Had completely disappeared

Of all the skills that you might learn
Sleight of hand’s a dandy
If you’re a politician
Well, it really comes in handy

You state your firm positions
In English, French, and Spanish
Then say, “Abracadabra”
And just like that, they vanish

I support a ban on fracking
You can’t change my mind, I won’t
Then comes the Hocus Pocus
And suddenly, I don’t

I say we cut the funding
For enforcing Law and Order
It shouldn’t be illegal
If you want to cross a border

I know that’s your position
Cause I heard it and I read it
Now the mesmerizing media
Reports you never said it

You rode a wave of fervor
But enthusiasm’s cooled
People may love magic
But we don’t like being fooled

Listen you Trumpers, I said what I meant to say, but I have to say, I don't really mean a damn thing I've ever said...OK?

OK Kamala, now we get it! 😏

Wonderful poem.. I don't have a problem when people, even politicians, change their minds on positions they claim in the past but I get mighty suspicious when these mind changes occur just months short of an election... Seems to me like Kammi has seen all of her solid beliefs have been rejected even amongst her supporters and she thinks that she can reject her old views to be elected. She flip-flops quicker than a freshly caught Carp on the riverside...
