do you agree with what Karl Shapiro said? read details.?

Question

"a politician is interested in holding you in his spell only untill you go to the polls, where as the poet asks you to elect him for at least a thousand years"(karl shapiro an american poet and critic)

Answer 1

Yes--I've seen it happen. Empty promises--campaign jargon--a whole lot of political BS.

Answer 2

I expect that Xerxes, Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezar will be remembered long after Mr. Shapiro has been forgotten. Likewise Alexander the Great, Caesar and Napolean.
