Smokagogue
Description
"Smokagogue is an acronym of two words: smoke and demagogue.
Poet: Suslov, V.
To clean the air?—He says that we must.
“I’ll put the filters there; my word is like a rock.”
His pledge does not get blown away like dust…
The dust goes down,
His pledge goes up in smoke.
Written on the calendar pages:
“Will stop,” “Won’t do it,” “Promise.”"
