BREAD AND CIRCUSES
by Bill Kochman
10-29-2024
Bread and circuses, bread and circuses,
It is really such a nonsensical way to go,
Strutting out their celebs onto their stage,
It is really meaningless you should know.
Trying so hard to impress the audiences,
With the biggest & most famous names,
If you are smart you will just ignore it all,
Don't be taken in by the political games.
What really matters are the major issues,
Not what a Hollywood celeb wants to say,
So let's talk about what's really going on,
As for those celebs, just please go away!

This poem was inspired by watching how Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have been competing with each other to bring the biggest names onto their 2024 presidential campaign stages. Of course, Kamala Harris will win in this political game -- meaning the celebs game, not the election itself -- because everyone knows that the Democrats have liberal Hollywood -- or unholywood -- in their pocket. However, as this poem states, it is all just meaningless nonsense meant to distract from the real issues.
