Vote

I fear our votes must be scraps or spoils
No rich man knoweth our toils
Upon us he performs a curse
For he is governed by his purse
We seem to draw no wit
From our previous failing
When into the snake pit
We go a-trailing
Honey words, sweet verse
Driven to hell in the politician's hearse

Congress no longer declares war or makes budgets. So that's the end of the constitution as a working machine. Gore Vidal
