The Politician's Welfare

...is what we've called a poverty
been kept from those who work?
For shaming those remembered
from a consequence of shirk?

That every man remembered
is a tribute to a fall?
So that every man who's working
can belong to serve us all?

Knowing what a vote can get us
for a country to remain?
When they're counting all the ballots
for the politics of stain?
