Standing For Election - Υποψήφιε Βουλευτά

Rating: 4.8


When they see me

they laugh

WhenI stumble

they burst into applause

When I make faces

all of them cheer

I am a clown

What's your excuse

when you're

standing for election?



Όταν με βλέπουν

γελούν

Όταν σκοντάφτω

σε χειροκρότημα ξεσπούν

Τις γκριμάτσες μου

όλοι επευφημούν

Εγώ ένας κλόουν είμαι

Εσύ, πες μου,

πώς δικαιολογείσαι

υποψήφιε βουλευτά;

Profound, it is no joke to make someone smile by becoming laughing element. A perfect satire to the politicians.They all have crocks skin.

The politician's says ' I want to run for office to destroy, the Circus.' The poem's presentation of a politician acting just like a clown before the public during the political campaign is superb and more than accurate. It can be totally visualized and understood. All gullible voters should read. Fantastic poem, loved it!
