Rise To Power

Rise to power
Soar to fame
All that's certain
Can't explain
All I feel
Is much to blame

Politicians
Running free
Plutocrats
Not meant to be

Salutations
False to me
Winning losers
Never see

Time has come
To alter gaff
Mend the tear
That we must laugh

Situation
Runs amok
And beats upon
Fair nation's luck

To soldier in
Democracy
Emerging in
A fallacy
