Political Poltergeists

Appearances deviate and manipulate reason

like a chameleon doing a strip-tease

for a flock of bleating sheep at a rock concert

or slapstick comedy and magic tricks

in a theatre of the absurd where actors mime 

to a gallery of bloodsucking leeches 

living off the despair and aspirations of others .
