Yet another Politician Poem, by Raidoc, at My poetic side

Why do politicians lie

And our wallets deftly pry,

Puff and bluster all the time

Their intent to cheat sublime.

Are we dumb or just naive

Of that talent to deceive,

Smiles aplenty to go round

While broken promises abound.

Why venerate them so

And not tell them where to go,

Pay good money after bad

The whole thing is rather sad.

When we put them to the test

They begin their quest with zest,

But time passes all too fast

Their resolve's not there to last.

We vote them out and start again

And get another just the same,

This conveyor belt of life

Sure to bring us yet more strife.

What solution may we ask

To complete this ingrate task,

Maybe ply them all with drink

Hoping this will help them think.

As to us, let's tune them out

Find a corner where to shout,

Release the loathing and emotion,

Survive the show and the commotion.

Let's be real and rather blunt

Lest our message we might stump,

There is another old profession

That earns its money by the session.

We might as well embrace the ride

Taking bumps full in our stride,

For if we blot out all the noise

They become mere soulless voids.
