Politicians

P utting their own needs ahead of everything
O penly raping the middle class
L iving the lifestyle of royalty at taxpayer expense
I nterested in only that which fattens their wallets
T aking from everyone to satisfy their gluttonous egos
I mage is more important than substance
C ompromising the nation's integrity
I gnoring the needs of their constituents
A busing their political power
N egative impact on the entire nation
S elling their soul for the sake of a dollar.

         The only group of people who can talk continuously for two weeks and never 
say anything. But we, the unknowing, keep re electing them.
