Chewed Up and Spit Out

The biggest mess I've ever seen
was taking bribes while living a dream
The exchange of money for confidence
When seen so sure the competence
But suddenly there goes something wrong
Abilities to change was taken from
No favorability while decisions are deals
Deception in progress while we grease the wheels
Two billion doller's paid in advance
Presidential powers pushing at glance
But assumptions made were suddenly wrong
and promises became words in a sad song

Gone were powers suddenly bereft
Four years of favor suddenly left
The feeling of cheated suddenly crept
The panic and fears of suddenly the quest
of those feeling that they were CHEWED and left less
Imagine the consequences that they already have
And to steal an election is only the half
The only defence they'll ever have is self defence
And they already have
It was done by saying "I've done nothing wrong."
But in truth taking the bribe made you already wrong.
