Sympathy for the Devil

"Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones

Trifecta Writing Challenge - 33 words based on this song.

Rhetoric
Loud and fast
On the media dial
Politicians cast
Spewing their bile
Enraging the Last
Man, woman, and child
Pausing to the chime
Of the donor’s dime

The Devil’s flag flies half-mast

    If I can believe anyone of being in cahoots with the devil, it's certainly politicians!
