Government Riddle

halls of justice

safe

Where is the debate avoider

Controlling decider

Heavily armed, obscuring the truth

The invading, occupying force

Following orders that arrive

Trickling down from a wizard figure

Floating out of sight in a balloon

On a vector tangential to reality

Swirling in a vortex of candy coated spin?

The government is flying high on a cloud of delusion

Today’s prompt is to use kenning, a kind of riddle from Norse poetry.  Since the elections are upon us during #NaPoWriMo I was inspired to write about the government.  Join poets around the world this month reading and writing poetry.
