Those responsible for using the law,
Only use words like rhetorical troops.
Two small groups, who separate one big group,
Struggling for power, using their jaws.
Their way to the top is where they all claw,
Putting holes into rhetorical loops,
While jumping through their rhetorical hoops,
Using their tools to divide, like a saw.
Upon this division is what they dine,
Because their compensation is healthy.
They pretend that everything is fine,
Ignoring those who cry "help me!"
Two groups concerned about the bottom line,
Serving the greater good of the wealthy.
