Not Into Politics

There's a logical reason
why I'm not into politics...
I've seen much corruption
in elected politicians, who have stolen
from the state treasure without conscience.


And many live in mansions;
drive foreign luxurious cars...
take extended vacations,
and drink the best champagnes.


We, the common people, observe them
and continuously wonder where those things came from,
but naiveness is confused with the plausible thought... 
that they have honestly earned or inherited them.


Many have made the national and international headlines,
hiding shameful faces that will confront dire consequences;
don't pity them, remember our laws are fair and strong...
even a President will be hold accountable for any wrondoing!


Some are filthy rich, and desire more,
and what's our wish? To pay less taxes as they do indeed!
Hating them may cause bitter feelings, enough to expose their greed.
Have faith that things will soon get better,
elect a politician who has ethic values and with dignity opens your door.
