Political Good Intentions

The ambulance raced to cross the tracks, Good intentions were the driver’s facts: To save a life if he can pass, The freight train’s undeterred attack. And so the politicians dare to ask, Never expecting to be unmasked, Only judgement on good intentions, Rejecting damage and self implications.

Politicians can be slippery creatures, for sure. I like the ambulance metaphor - loud and always in a rush, just like a politician! I'm very much into politics, myself, I have to stay up on what is going on in the country. Recently it has been a very discouraging pursuit, I must admit!
