Alliterative Rambling
I often wondered why man-made laws fail.
They are canny compromised concoctions
Agreed to by gregarious, greedy
Souls with agendas. Agents for the rich.
These representatives repeatedly
Parrot party politics to pave the
Way to enactment. Actors on a stage
Playing roles with planned scripts from you know whom.
Feigning their motions with faintest vigor.
Only to con their constituency.
As long as there are have and have-nots
The have-nots will always want, the haves keep.
The rich control the governing body
Middle-class mental midgets elect them.
