Lightly seared on the reality grill
falling outside
normal moral constraints
with a fine disregard for awkward facts
refreshingly unconcerned with
the vulgar exigencies of veracity
Kakistocrats.

“Kakistocrat” is Ancient Greek, meaning “worst ruler”, a humorous inversion of “aristocrat”. I do think this describes politicians in both the UK and USA today. This is a found poem, from Culture ship names.
If you enjoyed the poem. please leave a comment.
