Who Is Not the Liar

Who is Not the Liar
By Franklin Price

Who is not the liar
It's really hard to tell
When it comes to politicians
You should really know them well

Their first and main intention
Is to  get your valued vote
If they have to lie to do it
It is not a thing of note

They're kind of like the internet
Because they said it, it is true
You better check up on it
It's the least that you should do

Don't vote and follow blindly
Don't just go with party lines
Evaluate the candidates
To see what's on their minds

And when your own position
Is as theirs that you perceive
Then look closely at their record
To see if  that's what they believe

As I said at the beginning
If there's truth it's hard to tell
If they believe it, can they do it?
If they can it would be swell

But definitions of positions
For which politicians run
Make comments often meaningless
To get your votes and just for fun

When making your decisions
Taking votes down from the shelves
Cast for ones who think somewhat of you 
And a little less about themselves
