Disguised as an honest man.


Been having dreams lately. Of having become a manipulator. A liar, too. A con man. Anything to get my way. I’m not kidding. It’s me in those dreams. Maybe I should call them nightmares. Makes me feel bad. That I have turned to evil deeds. Yes, I’ve become a politician. I’ll do anything to get my way. Even if it means no longer being me. I have lost the ability to be honest.  But then my conscience comes to the forefront. And I wake. Scared silly and feeling anxious. That I may be the real me. In that dream. A ruthless politician. Disguised as an honest man. --Jim Broede
