Good Old Boys

Good Old Boys
Written: By Miracle Man
6/17/2019

Our country is presently run by “good old boys,”
We’re inundated daily with incessant noise.
Their primary focus, is on accumulating wealth,
And spinning the media to keep matters stealth.

There’s only one remedy to rectify this matter,
Vote in term limits and watch “good old boys” scatter.
But change won’t happen for it requires them to fix,
They were born with the smarts, and see us as just hicks.

One thing is perplexing and definitely isn’t funny,
Is the way they choose to spend the tax payer’s money.
All the time, from lobbyist pockets, they’re busy gleaning,
Causing egotism to take on an entirely new meaning.


“What is morally wrong
Cannot be politically right”
William Gladstone
