POLITICALLY INCORRECT

I do not understand politics,
I realise I never will
My interest, I'm ashamed to say
It is virtually nil.
But...

At the moment,
I am feeling somewhat fraught
Some politicians who are in power today
They need to do what they ought.

They should abide by the law,
And practice this in court.
But some do not understand the law,
Or they need to remember what they were taught.

Some politicians think that they are above the law
And people can be bought
Then greed creeps in
Which causes problems of a different sort.

My opinion of politicians
May count for naught
But in my humble opinion
There needs to be more order in court.

Hi Shirley, All things courted in society; political, practiced, and problematic (though polished)..the dance goes on, with we as willing pawns. -Richard
