A Caution Freely Given
If you’re a political neophyte,
Then hear my words and hear them well.
A politician always lies.
There is no truth in him to tell.
You’ve a choice of bad or even worse,
And very little in between.
Since Honest Abe there have been few
Who weren’t controlled by a machine.
A machine controlling him with cash
That wants everything to go its way.
No matter how you vote, you’ll gnash
Your teeth and rue your choice some day.
