Does Polly Scientist Want a Cracker
If one really cares
They can approach their local Mayor
To ask them a question on a Greek organization hazing dare
Either walking through the outdoor mall
Or in a bathroom stall
Yes in the can!
A citizen can make a stand
While dropping a their flap
Making sure the Mayor knows where things are at
It is the people’s right when seeing a community official in sight
To let them know of their plight
But does a person have the access?
When political leaders deal with the masses?
Or are they dependent on the business suit oriented reporter
Doing the information recording
As for getting on the press list
Powers that be should insist
Issues be dealt with and not dismissed
Maturity comes handling a situation
And experience defines this exercise as a professional position
Understanding about the communication flow
Does not depend on who you know
If an important subject needs addressing
It could be solved with a simple apology or someone confessing
Only danger is
When the biz
Is left unattended
A big mess may not be able to be mended
As I sit here by the ocean water
After studying undergrad years ago in Florida
My notebook reflects over the happy hour drink
Our beloved public servants may want to start to think
This whole situation cannot get any colder
And should expect to hear from the master called the voter
Flipping the switch in the ballot booth
That states ‘we have had it’ and we want nothing but the truth
