Whenever strife involves
Quid pro quo, barter...
I just offer what I have,
I only wish what is mine...,
i pay anyway

Political Quid Pro Quo
Written: by Miracle Man
3-22-2020
Ignoring the obvious is not sly like a fox,
and most Solutions come, from thinking outside the box..
Many concentrate on blaming, not the problem at hand,
as political discourse helps fear to sweep our land.
Self preservation is always, the name of the game,
So first, many will seek, someone else to affix blame.
This November those chosen, won't be made from our best,
and very likely they'll become, just like the rest.
Not every politician we elect is self serving,
but it doesn’t take long to think they’re deserving.

Can you make some space for me?
I will sit there beside you
I will not leave you
Listen to the sounds of waves
Look at the bright moon
Listen to the silence of the moon
The moon and I are very peaceful
Both are trying hard to hide the dark side
Let me sit very close to you
Hear your heartbeat
Feel your secret ache
Can you make some space for me?
I want to barter your pain with my happiness

'Twas the night before Christmas and impeachment was in the air
Trump kept tweeting that it was unfair
The truth had come out, but he continued to lie
But Moscow Mitch assured him that victory was nigh
But then Pence started to grin
Hoping for the moment when he would be sworn in
Somehow he knew that the Prez was a crook
Who never did anything by the book
Giuliani the grinch was the Christmas 'hit man'
So Trump gave the order and Christmas was banned
They arrested Santa and read him his rights
So Santa was grounded unable to take flight
Then Trump decided to break away
So he took off on Santa's sleigh
He rode around Washington saying Ho ho ho
Telling everyone No quid pro quo!

"Quid pro quo is a Latin phrase that literally means
"something for something."
The phrase usually indicates an exchange of goods
or services of roughly equivalent value."
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To a little log cabin filled
with bedding and candy pills.
With a little skill
Jack asked Jill to take a pill
then roll in the bed fill
of hay. Jill with a loud shrill,
is this Quid pro quo?

Quid pro quo Penny ante It is only a penny for your thoughts Unless you do not know? Happiness can’t be bought With no money to burn and a penny saved is a penny earned Why do you put in your two cents worth?

There was a local lad named one-armed Joe
Who was an alligator wrestling pro
He misjudged the 'gator's snap
Resulting in this mishap
He dined on 'gator tail as quid pro quo

Ascending unto the fourth pinnacles auspicious plyth ~
To quantumly observe these plateaus regions of oeuvre
Molten monograms of monarchies scripted immure; immolating
These gravitating exhibits of perceptions inter alia
Past particles of meticulously latticed perplexities....

....Quid pro quo?!

Will you ever reach the summit
Where all you see is stretched below
When after all you’ve faced
Has become a flickering glow
After all the difficult tries
And the shallow echoes
The dilemmas and the fears
From the things you didn’t know
When it all falls down
Like a whiteout blizzards snow
When there’s no turns left
Where you didn’t already go
You thought the end was near
After the hurricane’s blow
But your angel didn’t come
With a clear path shown
When you didn’t stay in hell
But were there to say hello
And you bartered with satan
Another quid pro quo
You tried to run fast
But could only move slow
What is there that’s left?
More dues that you owe
For the life you’ve lived
And the oats that you sowed
It's the levy that you pay
For the quid pro quo
