Democracy Seed

They live off of taxpayer money
and whatever they make on the side
from the donors who keep them in Office
a congressional bribery ride 

They care not for the needs of their voters 
for Republicans have their own plan 
to hold on to their places in Congress 
for as long as they possibly can 

So they cast all their votes for the money 
take vacation til voters cool down 
But their votes still belong to the donors
as they bow to the mad, orange clown 

The American system is broken 
it is up to The People to lead 
fix the old, make the good even better 
plant anew, a democracy seed
