Dragging
The Elitists in Government are dragging their feet,
while "the people" eat humble pie and sweat,
wondering how far their lives will plunge into
the unknown depths of chaos and debt,
They wine, dine and schmooze on the
Hill of no thrills,
In the meantime, people are losing their homes,
Dropping dead or electing to end
their lives with pills or any means they
can find, because they can't afford to
take care of their children as they should,
Yet, the Politicians continue to act as if
United States' condition is "All Good"
With indifference they retire to their mansions
and lives of prosperity, while the "little people"
are left hanging in the wind,
Then they turn around and blame their incompetence
on the only minority who is desperately trying to save the
country from ruin and pestilence.....
