They pat each other on the back, <br />For a con job well done. <br />And the people fall for that. <br />Knowing their best interests have been shunned. <br /> <br />And regardless of how blatant, <br />The degrading act of this appears... <br />The people await for more of this, <br />With a round of applause... <br />And encouraging all to stand tall and cheer! <br /> <br />As they roll their eyes at those who scoff. <br />In stances to defend... <br />The increasing decadence, <br />That has jeopardized their quality of life. <br />With no end in sight! <br />And believing themselves to be envied!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
