Into the Cauldron!

by Rick Lewis

“Politics. noun. From the Greek poly meaning ‘many’ and ticks meaning ‘blood-sucking insects’.”
Fake dictionary definition, seen on greetings card.

“Would it not in that case be simpler
for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?”
From Bertolt Brecht’s poem ‘The Solution’.
