Politicians get the hots
when power and money
call the shots.
It's the same, my friend, the wide world over;
the rich and powerful roll in clover,
while working stiffs, from nine to five,
get no honey from the hive.
Democracy is all a con:
when will we
just cotton on
to the fact our lives don't mean a shit
to the pricks in charge--I've said my bit!

Got you there
Oh all they care about is that we work and pay our taxes. They dont think we are smart enough to know whats going on . But even this morning they voiced that after all the ballets from all the states are in then the elite group will decide with their votes who will become president just amongst themselves . So why spend all that money and time when they are going to ignore it anyway.

I am enjoying your smarty alec poetry of recent writes, Bill. This poem is a very short and hard hitting treatise on social theory, political ideas and personal conviction. must agree with ghosts onthestreet, you have certainly hit the nail on the head, the politicians in their bottoms where the heads are stuck, and the little bloodsucking employers in their sex drive, money, but not enough to really be anything but small time churls.
