Cryptic Politics

In your twisted dialect – you profess your sub par intellect – as ‘wisdom’ but lack the insight of forefathers, who fought for this country’s freedoms
Politicking to make a living – promising things but never giving a good goddamn about the consequence of your actions – which is just a mere fraction – of your heart being in it – cuz it sure ain’t for the benefits of your ever loyal constituents – and we all know it’s just for the dead presidents anyway
While you trail blazing campaigns for more votes – it’s on a real bleak note – that us poor suckers still be broke – feeling the choke hold, the death grip of poverty’s yoke! ! !

You can’t be for real, never mind what you say – because at the of the day -anyone with eyes can see, that the programs you’re defending – are in desperate need of some serious mending
Y’all barely help the needy – cuz we still hungry and you still greedy! But g’head, write another law that you call justice – but what you really mean is, “just us” – who have means should make out like bandits – and for the rest of y’all – here hold this you take these hand outs! ! !

It’s ridiculous really, the injustice! You civic minded candidates spew your web of lies – busy spinning rhetoric and ignoring the cries – of people you were elected to humbly serve – and without a moments pause, have the unmitigated nerve / Smiling for the camera, parading on your morals – as your aide strokes your ego, and helps you with super skills that are oral! ! !

On a platform of “honesty” with one hand you maraud the communal coffers – while seek with the other, more of our pennies and hard earned dollars – you claim false victories for our young naive brothers – who fight on the front lines for freedoms that are time honored
As you condemn them with your pen – feeling justified in your means for an ever important win! You tell me, who is the real enemy again – and to what end is it all for my friend?

It’s the hypocrisy of democracy, and is it all worth it? Id be rich if i had a dollar every time I heard my fello americans always presenting your partisan jargon, and your ‘average Joe’ metaphors – hidden between the lines of your cleverly disguised political mores – and “we the people” are being wrenched to the very being of our cores – to make both ends meet, and further become those two points, so we throw up our hands reluctantly in defeat – and there at the round table you graciously take your seat
Having gotten to that place by shaking a few hands and smiling in our face – and it’s still a crying shame that you bare no disgrace – for robbing Peter to pay Paul robbing both blind – and when it’s all said and done you done robbed us all, it just boggles the mind – and staggering how we don’t trust in God, but let the blind lead the blind.

But still “In God we trust” is the motto that continues to bind us, it’s the Union’s bill of rights to chase and spend that almighty buck, and as the saying goes “by any means necessary” but really, who gives a flying fuck if the people have enough to eat
To get ahead in this world you have to be strong, walk tall, and stand firm on both feet – looking over your back and past a politician’s neverending deceit – it’s almost unbearable to keep up much less even compete – now off go the jobs to foreign lands and out of our reach – but still we pledge allegiances to a flag where the colors don’t bleed, but we do. Cuz it’s our blood sweat and tears – that toil hard for a future that’s filled with uncertainties and fears! ! !

I wish had real answers, not just a long list of questions; like who set this all up and when does it all change – or who do we really speak to, in order to bring about some balance and see it all rearranged
Like, why is it that there’s such a thing called the one percent-and why is there a thing known as the minority population, and the so called ‘majority’ thinks that they’re the ones who’ve been heaven sent / But that’s how it all goes down in this unjust system of our precious government – the vicious cycle continues never mind how unfair or redundant
But by now, this might all sound disgruntled or more like a psychotic rant – but to me so is uninformed politicians, who try to sound real smart but still sound so damn ignorant / Good or bad it’s just rhetoric I guess, given what we know when you really think of it – like it or leave it- it’s all just Cryptic Politics.
