PERSUASION

 I like to listen to
 Those who speak extemporarily 
 Classic presentations
 Without notes
 Knowledgeable of facts
 Forthright – no hesitation
 No confusion
 Confident 
 Existential 
 They expose the lies
 Answer with the truth
 Leave no doubt
 In those with open minds
  
 I hear rebuttals by
 Those heralded by the fake news
 I listen to their utterances
 Proclamations read off of
 A prompter or notes
 Glasses low on the nose
 In a Hollywood way
 The lies are read and
 Nodding heads on the panel 
 Also known as talking heads
 Give necessary affirmation
 They leave no doubt to
 Those riding the wrong horse
