The shame that is our government; of, by and for the people. We the people allowed it to happen.
Confused

I'm really quite confused
About the chosen few
Who run our Federal Government
And the things they say and do
How they got there in the first place
How they climbed the ladder up
How they went with best intentions
Then found they could fill the cup
Could make more than their salary
If they responded to the pitch
Now that they were in the beltway
And were noticed by the rich
They are still elected
By the voters at the poll
Are supposed to be there for us
Instead of being on the dole
Supposed to be a public servant
Paid more than living wage
If found they're taking pay-offs
Should be put within a cage
There's a problem with that thinking
If we removed all of the crooks
Would be few left there in Washington
To put the laws within the books
Would be few left there to serve us
To pass along the people's say
Must be crazy here to say that
They don't do that anyway
