The Brand of Cain

Politicians present politicians
To manage our manageability 
With the public’s kind permission 
Sweet public, you’re just a facility 
I can’t choose from the offered content 
Can’t be heard by those faces I see 
Telling us what they think is important
You may agree with it or disagree
To them we worth less than nothing 
Them and us don’t belong to each other
The difference remains contrasting
Politician was Cain, not his brother.
