RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
Propaganda Failure
When the propaganda fails
We wonder if it ever worked at all
Did the people just pretend to believe?
Did they go along to avoid punishment?
Were they waiting for the chance
To express the truth?
That they never did believe
That they knew the truth all along
That the dictator was lying
That his hold was not that strong
That he stole the people’s money
Stashed in foreign banks
Buying castles and glorious yachts
As well as missiles bombs and tanks
They knew it from the start
He was a power-hungry brute
A man without a conscience
A man without a heart
The emperor has no clothes
No courage and no strength
The emperor does not care
Who suffers or who dies
He will go to any length
To gain his fame and fortune
To claim his brutal prize
He is naked and exposed
His reputation grows
And everybody knows
His game
