Politicians

Politicians are so adept,
at the parsing of speech.
Due to this flawed thinking,
there’s a vast party breech.
Their association with lobbyist,
is shielded from sight.
Becoming a perk of the job,
to have palms greased at night.
Oneupmanship now prevails,
and most seek a head start.
But citizens won’t be served,
until compromise plays a part.
But once elected to office,
their egos make them kings.
They view their supporters,
as mere ignorant underlings.
