The 'SWAMP' Must Be Drained

The favorite desert of today’s politicians - not all - but the bulk of the clan - According to one of my sources at NEWSMAX - is currently - ‘Bribery-Pie’! Particularly those who have been there a while...in exchange for a sizable piece... Will happily do as their donors demand...then cover their ass with a lie. Lobbyists circle their prey at the White House, coercing the pawns they procure To - ever so slyly - betray their constituents, knowing they haven’t a clue That most of their promises, made while campaigning, are given for garnering votes, With little or nothing whatever in common with what they are going to do! Many know well of the graft and the fraud, yet rarely attempt to intrude. Fearing the ire of a lofty incumbent, they typically won’t interfere, Leaving the ones who are doing their best, who’ve served for a number of terms, To cope with the customized tactics designed for - ‘contributors’ - year after year! A sizable portion of those who’ve had faith in the people they’ve helped to elect Are stunned to discover they’re being deceived by felons they felt they could trust. But now that we know what they’re actually doing...it’s time to wake up and unite. We need to be far more discerning when voting - and - ‘draining the swamp’ is a must!
