Insidious

It is intellectual dishonesty When politicians discuss disparity Both parties dance around the issues As if the ones the issues pertain to are fools Voting rights for instance can make or break a candidate So why suppress the vote for some When in their hands determines the candidate’s fate Unemployment is still on the decline Change and dollars are hard to find Some will argue that my stats are wrong But those are just opinions that are strong Health care is a major component to any thriving society So it makes sense to support health sobriety Education is a big deal But it’s being promoted for the rich While the aspiring students get chills Word to the wise In all your getting get understanding Because freedom aint free No, not it is not free Laws and legislation determines The future for you and me And voting is the top priority It’s the stroke of the pen That controls the politicians
