Politician
Man of greed and narrow thought whose power holds the lands.
By cash alone you compel us all to follow your commands.
And willingly for our own needs we see your world as true.
Bought blindness to dictate our days on a course that profits you.
We close our eyes to the carnage and the killing that you call right.
And we pray for something better than greed and a show of might.
In our hearts we know your motive and the wrongs that you do.
And hope that there is some way we will not need to follow you.
You do not pause to think that you could ever be in the wrong.
And through your reins of power you drag us right along.
I see the world rebelling as by fire nature strikes us back.
With those you opposed, in the news, telling of your foolish attack.
Fear of what you lose compels you to fight change at all cost.
And because we do no better we will all eventually be lost.
Many of us have forgotten the simple things that we were taught.
Such as trust, morality and right are things that can not be bought.
The world when it is sane will come to hate your very name.
But by lethargy and greed the next chosen, sure to be just the same.
I apologise to any innocents offended.... I make no apology to those who are guilty.
