Glassy eyed stars <br />Buzzards in bars, <br />Wild and wooly creatures <br />Driving hopped up cars- <br /> <br />The world's gone to a crazy cotillion <br />In a bizarre dance of billions, <br />The humble and the wise buried alive <br />As the price of it all climbs past gazillions- <br /> <br />The modern political scheme <br />Is to never let the public know what the 'party' truly means, <br />Keep the voters confused and wondering: <br />Are politicians humans, or heartless machines? <br /> <br />The less we common folk know <br />The better for them it all goes, <br />As long as they can buy enough votes <br />To ensure their bank accounts continue to grow- <br /> <br />It's the politics of the age <br />The self-aggrandizing craze, <br />That tries to take away the sense of ordinary folks <br />And lock them all away, in a hopeless mental cage- <br /> <br />Therefore understand, the ultimate political freedom <br />Is to belong to no group or clan, <br />To finally find you are truly free to be <br />Your own woman or man.<br /><br />Smoky Hoss<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/politics-29/
