Albert Ahearn Poet Verse

Politician

The only good politician
is a dead one.
They are the root of rebellion
with their fabricating forked tongues;
This should not imply they be killed
Hell no! Karma will tend to that.
As a rule they’re old and grizzled
men -self servers that have grown fat
at the expense of the people;
Parasites pandering their base
rarely the country’s as a whole
beginning at the polling place.
Their souls sworn in smelly restrooms
their shiftiness baptized in piss.
Both [left and right] are lowdown goons
And when they’re gone they’re never missed.

Cona Adams July 5, 2015 at 5:53 AM Wow, Albert. I think you've "hit the nail on the head." We need a 28th Amendment. One which says this: "Congress shall make no law which does not apply to themselves." Something tells me that they would get busy trimming down the pork barrel. Albert Ahearn July 6, 2015 at 3:48 AM Amen to that. Thanks for commenting.
