Power For Sale
Politics brings out the worst in us,
if in doubt-turn on the news
The denominator sinking low,
false prophets in the pews
All lust for privilege, fairness damned,
as old as man himself
Truth getting buried inside the deck,
as the bottom card gets dealt
Politics poisons and spoils the well,
leaving the common good to drown
Our animal natures, where dog eats dog
-power for sale by the pound
