From varied cities and hamlets they come
Suggesting that they will get things done
And make the necessary change
The absurdity of which is not just strange
But even more a profound untruth
Their sudden amnesia compelling proof
Intent seemed pure at its outset
Until they played and laid a bet
That change a cost they gladly paid
And now a player the game they played
Their place they had to pay a toll
Now both feet in too deep a hole
Of ease is this the vets they chided
Just go along the process reigns
And smile the riches a member gains
Fear not the lobby they all will call
And reap the riches they share with all
You are a player just do the bidding
Duplicity culpability is to well hidden
Your graft a drop piddling the amount
Small out of pants no off-shore account
A vote a waste a toll a time
You have no say in truth you mime
The deal long set the formality
A minion you stark reality
Behind the curtain quiet and cool
The puppet master you elected fool
Wait . . . what?
ReplyDeleteNo, just kidding. I understand now that we've talked about it and you've connected the dots between your title and last sentence.
ReplyDeleteBoth sides claim that they are doing what the "American People" want, but how can that be? How can they think that what we want is a bunch of posturing and pissing wars just to stake out your party lines? Accomplish something, set aside your party line and get something done. Not voting, abstaining, denouncing, filibustering, call it what you will but we aren't fooled and are tired of you choosing what you think will save your precious seat come November. You aren’t speaking for this “American Person” by worrying about your chair at the table.
