The Politician

We are nothing alike, so you pretend to relate.

Dance for money, because we pay you.
What a show.
The audacity to plead for money while denouncing the poor.

Tell us what can and can't be done behind your tie.
Donors and dinners for ten thousand dollar plates.

Follower of god, commiter of sins.
Kill with attrition in the name of  balance.

Steal from the public to fund the private.
Complaints without solutions.
Dead students and unanswered prayers.

Social security without social security.

A man on a city corner, passing out loaves and fish to pleading hands.
And you would cut off their hands because the fish was free.
