PoliticansA Poem by James BegertPoliticansI never met an honest politician The only ones I have ever met were still alive Still smiling. Still holding babies. With perfect white teeth And perfect annunciation Well organized and likeable Caring about your ever whim And your personal struggle He is you and you are him
Then you vote for him And then he changes So you switch parties And you vote for him again Just with a different face And a different name And the cycle continues The choice of two liars
Then the day comes When you wipe the patriotism from your eyes When you finally learn the secret of politics: It’s all bullshit Your vote doesn’t make a difference And the system is rigged
Just one time I’d like a guy to step up to the podium A real short, fat guy With his receding hairline Rotten teeth and bleeding gums And tell the truth: ‘F**k you and f**k your God I’m here to sell out this country To the highest bidder Freedom is an illusion. We send your sons and daughters off to war To die as a blood sacrifice To our true master, Lucifer.’
I’d vote for that guy in a split second. © 2013 James Begert |
