Politicians

[JosephThePoet]

Politicians​

Politicians are people so they can’t be all bad
There has to be a good one out there somewhere
Like any group of people there are the good and the bad
So there has to be one somewhere among them

There’s less chance it’ll be on the federal level
But surely locally there must be a few
Some politicians may actually start out okay
Then sell out later to their selfish interests

Re-election may become their primary focus
Or they’ll trade out favours for personal gain
Morals and values have no meaning to them
They only follow the deceitful polls

Leaders they’re not that is quite clear
They’re more like trained monkeys than thinking humans
And just like the monkeys they have their handlers
So don’t expect any originality of thought

These people are babble speakers spewing out garbage
They can talk for hours and say nothing at all
And any stand they take is right on the fence
So we’ll know their position is as clear as thick mud

They’ll buy their favours using our money
And if they need more simply raise taxes
These people are not interested in making society better
Their greed and their lies are what govern them

My thoughts: informative and passionate. However, the old-school poet in me longed for lines that rhymed. Still, it was thought-provoking.
