The Peoples Servant

THE PEOPLES SERVANT by JOHN M. ARRIBAS He was here today promised pie in the sky But we’ll soon discover its just another lie They’ll say anything that to them is a plus But once they are in they make fools of us They need our vote to get elected First order of business get re elected They don’t need our money for the campaign They get it from those who have something to gain A freshman representative from any state May have intentions that to him are great But when the established seniors get his ear They’ll guide and instruct and make it clear That when he needs help or financial aid He wont qualify til he joins the parade The parade of voting for unworthy pork These projects are like eating soup with a fork The laws they pass affect you and me But they’re exempt, their perks are free I question why we continue give foreign aid To tyrants and despots, makes me afraid That some of those funds may surely bounce From the tyrants hands to secret accounts They pass out flyers at county fairs After two terms they’ve become millionaires If things get dull and their attention slips They plan exotic fact finding trips Those trips would cost a fortune for you and me The trips are on us and to them totally free They come home and host a town meeting Take a look at who’s in the front row seating Peoples servant(2) But the best of all is a fund raising event Where the affluent givers use money well spent Backing a candidate is a system well tested It yields great returns on the money invested Once they’re established with one term or two Hard to unseat them the special interest is glue These are best described as serial politicians The facts or a lie is part of their renditions They support their lives at the public’s expense Taking firm positions on both sides of the fence They have little to fear, bullet proof by far If they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar Their own will reject them from left and right None of them want to be in the public light If he is found guilty after numerous trials You will find his clone fully prepped in the aisles
