Change, a Catalyst For a Better World
We should never mince words,
when speaking of politicians;
but instead, call them what they are…
completely delusional.
We listen to their speeches;
which are nothing more than,
fictional stories.
Every election day, millions rush to the polls,
to vote for the wooden head, that they think will…
actually work, for the people;
none ever do.
Every single time,
they work, only for themselves.
The people are consistently…
bamboozled by those,
ego maniacal, Ponzi princes in silk suits.
Democrat-schmemocrat; Republican-mumblycan;
they’re both the same…
they are their own, piggy banks
and they collect…way too much, from the poor;
including lives.
One would think that the next election,
would wake everyone up;
instead, people go back to the polls
and vote for the opposite party’s, wooden head.
They back and forth, flip-flop;
no one seems to understand,
that electing someone of a completely different party;
might have the potential to get something done.
People live under the delusion,
that they need to elect someone,
with business experience.
While countries have businesses;
they are not businesses, in and of themselves;
they are people.
People are not businesses that you can manipulate.
The farmer has experience, as does the soldier,
the banker, the baker, the lawyer and the teacher.
Every individual striving for a good life;
has some sort of experience;
ideas, plans and innovations to offer.
Those who run a country;
must have the foresight,
to see the people and their needs, first.
Seasoned politicians apparently,
see their own bank accounts and fame;
they revel in delusions of grandeur.
Elusive seems the idea,
that the people could form their own parties
and nominate, real human beings.
When the next election rolls around.
ignore the schmem’s and mumblies
and replace them with ordinary people.
Those that you know; in the know;
could be a refreshing change,
for the future.
