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.

Thanks Alfonso. Being able to vote doesn't create democracy, so what's the point. Take care.
