I have to wonder
If there is a God, is he seeing
All this political stuff
If it’s beyond his believing
Were he to vote in this election
He would vote for compassion
For all his children of love
That love is dispersed with equal ration
Does he not frown upon lying
That adultery is betraying a spouse’s trust
To see yourself as a Dictator
Is inflicting yourself on democracy akin to rust
To lead the people
You’re expected to uphold the truth
Lead by setting an example
Not the fantasies of your youth
You’re not to abuse the public
For your own gain
You’re not to cheat to win
A convict causing the pain
Whether there’s a God or not
There’s someone to answer to
Rest assured they see the guilty
They plan on having a few words with you

Ominous, reproachful, a poem for all polititions and politics in general. Anytime man (or woman) gains power corruption begins. Good write.
Sadly true soren, power = corruption. Thanks for the visit and comment.
Good write, AP.
Good morals and business don't mix.
Neither do God and politics.
Thanks Jerry for the read and comment. I don't think God would like our politics either. If we did his way, we wouldn't need politics because world compassion would rule the world. 🙂
Well written and expressed
Thanks Tony, much appreciated. 😁
You're welcome
Corruption rules all politics AP no matter who the leader is!!
Andy
Thanks Andy, yes and I think everyone outside of Trumpmania can see that and will welcome a change.
You know I'm on your side don't you AP .. what you may not know is just how very much I am on your side ..
Two brothers from different mothers. 😉👍
