Political Shenanigans

Political shenanigans
Will finger pointing ever end
Not until the one who's pointing
Has no reason to defend
Whether verbally or visually
If finger pointing comes your way
It's either profit or distraction
That they hope will make their day
The candidates and media
Self-absorbed and ego pent
Whatever suits their fancy
However twisted and/or bent
Nothing is protected
Whether it was done or not
If you are involved with politics
A pig in mud is what you've got
I'm sure that there are honest ones
Who begin with open eyes
They've come to clean up politics
At least the parts we all despise
So they run and are elected
Our best interest in their heart
Most soon are trying out the mud
Sling a little do their part
Then wonder how they got there
Lied and cheated just a bit
The establishment pulled me right in
I tried to fight but had to fit
If I am reelected
So much better I will do
I promise I will straighten out
And be there just for you
