Politicians and Promises

Politicians and Promises By Franklin Price 8/28/2015 Politicians and promises Are quite synonymous If they do not keep them That is no surprise to us Will tell us what we want to hear Promise us most anything Enthrall us with verbosity On every word we'll cling Promises you'll likely hear I'll try to paraphrase If politicians ever kept them It would make for better days “A job I'll make for everyone For all that want to work” (If you vote me in I've gotten mine If you get yours it's just a perk) “Vote me in and you will see How much better off you are” (You can drown your sorrows At happy hour in the bar) Listen closely when you're told “All I do is just for you” Look for the hidden mirror The words reflect them right on cue Each time we hope it's better When polling rolls around That the elected keep some promises Not just another hollow sound
