"Podium Gods"

---

Sincere now, "Redress is on the way,"
Spouting hard, slick, fast.
"All we need is you.  All I need is you."

Podium gods lie, the snake oil sighs,
Never quite see a preacher man's eyes.

Wonder who they please...
   Wonder what they need....
          I wonder why they succeed...


Thoughtful now, "Repeal is what we need."
Spewing quick, soft, sense.
"All we need is you. All I need is you."

Speaker men lie, the grandstand sighs,
Never quite see the preacher man's eyes.

Wonder who they please...
   Wonder what they need...
          I wonder why they suceed....


Angry now, "Return is underway."
Screaming hate, fear, drug.  
"All we need is you.   All I need is you."

Leaders lie, our people comply,
Never quite see preacher men's eyes.
