Democracy
How can they say this and then they do that
Seeking approval through all of the scat.
Bending your ear while telling their lies
Guiding you fate while blinding your eyes
Watch their hand move telling their rants
Other hands steal money out your pants
Listening fools duped no matter the side
Pisses you off because you can't decide.
Pitiful fool, wool that covers your eyes
Awake, stop dreaming their in a disguise
Soon they will say 'I just want to debate'.
Play with your life and damning your fate
Their into excess, too much or to little
You find soon your caught in the middle
By the time it's over, you'll always lose
Their only criminals and liars you choose
Pull down your pants and slide on the ice
Your ass will be chilly but take my advice
Driven you nuts, they will toast and gloat
Behind a door, knowing they stole your vote
Seeking approval through all of the scat.
Bending your ear while telling their lies
Guiding you fate while blinding your eyes
Watch their hand move telling their rants
Other hands steal money out your pants
Listening fools duped no matter the side

Your ass will be chilly but take my advice
Driven you nuts, they will toast and gloat
Behind a door, knowing they stole your vote

Politics is a dirty game and only fools roll with the liars. The media is bought and paid for and have stolen our hearts with all the BS. That is why I don't play fool. I am proud to be American but our politicians allow crime to destroy our cities.

What are the means of theft?
I mean, I'm not as worried about something fishy happening at the polls as much as I am about the personal integrity of the election winner.
I'm all for a ban on candidates who have more than a half million dollars.
The stink of money tells us what they really care about.

Geez, you know you got that right. Both sides of the fence are shithead money grubbers. I'm getting tired of two parties and need three to shake it all up. God , but please not a flaky douchebag.

Sadly, flakey douchebags abound.
Ever notice how following the money is encouraged in the wars on terrorism and drugs, but not encouraged in domestic politics?
I've said it before and I still think it's true that the best friend a communist revolutionary ever had...was a corrupt capitalist.

I'm one of those weirdos who sees the linkages between money, politics, and even poetry, but at least I can write a poem without having to write a check first, eh?
I've learned to appreciate the little things.

Yeah, like keeping your own money in your pocket and not getting caught up in the "wagging the dog" syndrome that people with blinders like to believe in. Fast Freddy with one hand in your face distracting you while the other hand plays with your junk in your pants because the new sensation will keep you occupied. I need more caffeine. I get weird in the brain without it.

Lol. It's healthy to be skeptical, and at least a little weird. Cynical I'm still on the fence about but I'm alright with skepticism. It's all a matter of degree.
As for Fast Freddy, it's best to keep your head on a swivel, I suppose.

At this point if people trust some of these politicians, I mean the kind of politicians that go out there and say such sick shit, do such sick shit and actively make policies that are based off hate, and still vote for them. I just don't have any respect for those people. Maybe I shouldn't think like that. But at this point the politicians aren't even hiding who they are. People are actively voting for hate. Both sides are screwed sure. But some of these guys we as a country shouldn't stand for. It shouldn't be who we are.

I totally agree. I refuse to not vote, but I refuse to vote in extremists on either side of that fence.
