True. I don't know of a single politician who has ever been a poet.

That intrigued me, so I searched. I found one. Aime Cesaire. Now you know of one.

Ha! I see you found one, that's great. I wonder if there's a Western politician who was once a poet - unlikely! Appreciate your research.

And when the poets are repeating politician talking points, they're not really poets but propagandists.

Meh. I'm not so big on poets. Janitors, now, they are fonts of wisdom, because they empty everyone's trash cans. They know.

Thanks!
