Dave Cox Poet Rhyme

Politicians

Politicians

Why do we vote for them?
And let them increase their pay
Why do we listen to them?
Fill our heads with dismay
Why do we go along?
Like a blind man in an alley
Why do we ever believe?
Anything that they say
The only thing they’re good for
It’s rude so I can’t say
A politician, feathers his nest
Rolled up notes in a chest
Scandals a sex pest
Off-shore accounts
Loaded to the brim
Don’t pay tax in this country
If it’s up to him
Two or three jobs
Not admitted as he should
Back handed payments 
Take more if they could
A great example
The opposite of Robin Hood.

Dave Cox February 21, 2023 at 4:30 AM Thanks Alfonso. Being able to vote doesn't create democracy, so what's the point. Take care.
