A Modern Politician

Under a sky of misinformation,

And on a land of lies.

Dancing to the hands of their puppet-masters

Lives the politician.

As offerings to its moneyed gods

It gives our hopes and dreams

On bended knee it begs

For crumbs off the puppeteers tables.

It sees an election as a popularity contest,

It sees your vote as its basic inhuman right.

Despising its fellow contenders and making a mockery

Of honest speech.

Unite idealists, whomever you may be,

Against this creature, be you left or right.

Bring back debate and honesty,

Dance not to liars tunes.

Let votes be for what they voted for.

And democracy reign again.
