The Politicians: A Poem of Social Commentary
The Politicians
Stone cold hearts
they wear on their sleeves,
Proudly polished with the snake oil of hypocrisy,
Thinly veiled
in a cascade of lies.
Their only care to
deceive, corrupt,
and claim
All the goods, the riches,
the power--for themselves.
Long forgotten or ignored
are the hard-won battles
Our forefathers fought
Against
just such as these.
