Politicos

Politicos
By Franklin Price
7/18/2018

Politicos are those who pledge 
To win in any way
War's the same, that all is fair
When opponents come to play

All sides will do most anything
To be the ones to win
Those who are successful
Will find winning is a sin

What about the losers?
Well, the people made their choice
You have to leave the cities
To find the country has a voice

Don't complain the Constitution's
Electoral College came in play
Our founders sought for fairness
For everyone to have a say

The Constitution did it's part
Guaranteed the people's vote
I'd like to leave some food for thought
In my closing stanza note

If the outcome had been different
The sour grapes would be the same
Politicos run both the parties
The only difference is the name


 PS
Parties should care about the people
And not the win in any way
I'm sure the founding fathers
Are rolling in their graves today
