Rats and Politicians

Lower you say? No way!!!!!! Sewer rats fare better Politicians are the bottom Of this poetic society Yet for all their failings We are protected We are spoiled Laziness is our new Idol Oh let us sit on our chairs Ranting poetic verse Let us not lift a finger Contributing to society, this must surely be a sin Besides, if we endeavor to help? Will they not label us politicians? NO NO NO not that Let me complain!!!!!!!! He who complains is KING Power corrupts!!! This is true The fools who don’t vote Keep them there like glue You too can be a politician If you really care To get off your azz Go change the world, I dare you Oh wait you shall see Not so easy in that high moral chair With all your critics climbing to demolish Re-election is a love affair Brave men and woman have died So that you can have freedoms and the vote Be ashamed if you are a critter on the couch Of those fine men who died for your right To do nothing Yelping like dogs and complain, sure feels good Politicians are people just like you, yuck!!!!! Good and bad there is no doubt When good men fail to speak out Bad ones fill their shoes So I say this to all Stop your laziness……fools For surely, the fool is the one Who selects the king he does not want Unless of course He was busy with a nap and missed it all If you are not a politician Who are you? I dare ask? Notes: This sure is not meant to defend politicians, this is meant as a humorous write to show that not all things are so black and white. I certainly do no like the current state of affairs, but I do know this, not participating, not contributing, not helping to make things better, not getting involved, are not the answers. People died for our freedoms, and we have become to lazy to stand up for them. If you don’t like who is in Office, then by all means let’s make it you who is in Office. Many good politicians are saddened that when they get there, they have no support. Here is a happy thought, when you wake up each day ask yourself, “what can I do today, to make this world a better place” and it can be the smallest of details, all great things start with a seed! Happy Days to all you Soupers!

I say it now and I will again - You are one of a kind. As for me - I always vote. Not all Politicians are bad, but not good either. Like you - I hate lazy people and I know a lot of them that just live off the government, when there is nothing wrong with them. As for me - I have already paid my dues. Great poem... Lucilla
