This poem was inspired by the title of the Rock N Roll Politics podcast.
Politics is Rock N Roll
Politics is Hendrix and Jagger.
Politics is swagger and crash.
Politics is going to the moon
in a hot air balloon.
Politics is getting punched by trolls
and battered by polls.
Politics is being thrown off the rodeo
and scrambling on again.
Politics is cocaine.
Politics is propane.
Politics is Buster Keaton
on a runaway train.
Politics is Super Mario,
falling down mountains,
climbing up holes.
Politics is swinging from high to low,
from yo to yo,
‘til they tell you to go.
Politics is rock n roll
but it’s the audience who smash the guitar
if they don’t like the show.
