Political Science

Political science...In other words
The study of who gets what, where, when and
Why. Striking a balance of one accord 
Between the individuals demands,
Societies, and governmental needs.
At least that's how it's supposed to work.
The means that justifies the end, indeed!
Then why can not the workers obtain perks
That government gets at workers expense?
Who calculates the greed along the way?
Surely, not the worker, that's common sense.
Where does the finger of blame point today?
The onus for this imperfect science
Is the lawmaker minus his conscience.
