Repeat Offender

They will promise you the Moon and try to block the Sun Will promise to put a bridge over troubled water, but the river is dry Anything that you could ever want, but nothing ever comes of it Maybe not all, but just about everyone They just get re elected, never seem to die Or maybe they have got it so good, they don"t want to quit when the rich get richer, "Oh, it is because of those old Republicans" When the economy is down who is at fault, "The Democrats" After all the mud slinging, they go out and wine and dine each other And who foots the bull, the poor old hard working Americans Seems like the donkeys and elephants all wear the same hats If one did not know better, kind of like a brother Most are lawyers at first, then keep going from there Making more laws that we do not really need, taking freedoms away Demanding that we eat, what they won't even taste Trying to keep God hidden in a dark place, so we will not have a prayer But someday they will pay Look around and think, who is responsible for all the waste They need to remember, the voters that out them in office, can vote them out as well We need to make it so it is not so profitable to be a politician Of The Flag and of God, become a defender Or we will all go through nine kinds of Hell And above all, be proud if being an American Take away all the temptations, so that they will not become a :Repeat Offender

Danny, the politicians do forget whose interests they were elected to represent. I feel the tension in this poem and can really relate to your message. I won't be supporting any incumbants in the next election. The political machine needs to be fixed. Maybe we need more squeaky wheels. Awesome poem! Love, Carolyn

great thoughts, things are messed up in this political soup. I think all politicians are crooks.
