The Peoples Servant

THE PEOPLES SERVANT
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


He was here today promised pie in the sky
But we’ll soon discover its  just another lie
They’ll say anything that to them is a plus
But once they are in they  make fools  of us
They need our vote to get elected
First order of business get re elected


They don’t need our money for the campaign
They get it from those who have something to gain
A freshman representative from any state
May have intentions that to him are great
But when the established seniors get his ear
They’ll guide and instruct and make it clear


That when he needs help or financial aid
He wont qualify til he joins the parade
The parade of voting for unworthy pork
These projects are like eating soup with a fork
The laws they pass affect you and me
But they’re exempt, their perks are free


I question why we continue give foreign aid
To tyrants and despots, makes me afraid
That some of those funds may surely bounce
From the tyrants hands to secret accounts
They pass out flyers at county fairs
After two terms they’ve become millionaires


If things get dull and their attention slips 
They plan exotic  fact finding trips
Those trips would  cost a fortune for you and me
The trips are on us and to them totally free
They come home and host a town meeting
Take a  look at who’s in the front row seating

But the best of all is a fund raising event
Where the affluent givers use money well spent
Backing a candidate is a system well tested
It yields great returns on the money invested
Once they’re established with one term or two
Hard to unseat them the special interest is glue


These are best described as serial politicians
The facts or a lie is part of their renditions
They support their lives at the public’s expense
Taking firm positions on both sides of the fence
They have little to fear, bullet proof by far
If they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar 


Their own will reject them from left and right
None of them want to be in  the public light
If he is found guilty after numerous trials
You will find his clone fully prepped in the aisles
