I'M Cynical Towards Polly
Polly is in politics
Convinced herself she's great
Though it's tough to find benevolence
Whilst sifting through the hate
Polly has a message
Polly has a creed
The only thing Polly does not have
A strong defense towards greed
So Polly eats the pill
She drinks elixir too
Now Polly's good for nothing
Except reaping rights from you
As long as Polly's seat's secure
Her thoughts are sure to be impure
She'll levy taxes, flex her might
Your first born is probably in her sights
The lobbyists control her
She's their girl more than ours
Standing tall as their lieutenant
As the people fight the powers
Now totalitarian in nature
Absolute power is her goal
The only thing more wretched
Is the state of Polly's soul
Polly wanted to enact change
To love something she grew
What Polly never factored
Money has agendas too
A fallen political player
Someone fresh at any rate
How quickly a people's champion
Became an enemy of the states
