The politician said <br />'I love my job <br />chaos and parties political <br />are my life blood. <br /> <br />I squeeze dollars from the law <br />by threatening one side <br />with my new law <br />and get them to pay to dropp it <br />and then I go to the other side <br />and get them to pay me <br />to pass <br />it through. <br /> <br />Having now <br />money from both sides <br />I sanctimoniously <br />declare <br />that each side must learn to compromise. <br /> <br />Then I pass a meaningless law <br />which each side then pays <br />me to repeal; <br />I say I will need more <br />money for my re-election bid <br />and then whichever side gets <br />the most petition votes <br />will win. <br /> <br />I love my job. <br />I get all the money <br />and the citizens <br />get nothing. <br />That's good politicking.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-dark-secrets-of-politicians/
