A fine piece of political nonsense! A rant calculated to amuse the fellow travellers of the Messiah, Frank! I don't know whether one could classify this drivel as a 'non-satirical political poem, ' but it sure isn't 'absolutely ace' in my view. If your fans had done their homework on this very dangerous demagogue, they might not be so ecstatic at the prospect of an Obama administration!
This is a very good poem. I wanted to let you know, because I think a lot of people might be uncomfortable commenting on a poem with political content. You did an excellent job of writing a non-satirical political poem.
I'm not impressed with Obama or McCain. What impresses me about this poem is that it has a kernel of truth that I accept as useful life learning: It's simpler to embrace The lies, forces of hate Much easier to tear down than create Well done Frank.
