Jousting Robots

Two jousting robots In their purple helms Red and blue carpets Cling to the kings they serve And serve themselves indeed Two jousting robots Fly forth with self poisoned thrusts and On noble burros they ride Side stepping the sharp jabs Half heartedly fought Shame and glory shared With sly elephantine smiles Battles fought for themselves Royalty drowned in their own coffers the public starving for blood and the dried crumbs dropped by these feigning knights ------------------------ I often view politicians in this light. They care not for the people they serve and we often only distinguish between them by their sigil. Side note: why isn't politics or government a category on here? do we truly have nothing to say about it?
