The Underworld of Politicians
There are leaders who talk about all kinds of improvement,
but mostly, that's just diversion.
Who really knows what they're after.
On the other hand, one of the most common things
they want is power and promotion.
I think an accurate way to describe how they really gain power
in the underworld would be like playing a series of poker games.
As they use cheating tactics to win, their positions grow
as they gather more poker chips.
The more poker chips and money they win, the more powerful
they secretly become in their offices.
