No Hope

Today's politics

No hope that anything will change,

 

No hope in the political game

 

No hope because the game is rigged we play

 

Same tired cliche's are uttered by the insincere, who say

 

What they have to just to get reelected,

 

While we sheep wait for the change we expected

 

Based on the bullshit lies we were fed,

 

The impossible promises that the politician said,

 

That they had absolutely no intention of honoring,

 

That they never intended to follow through on, it's just more boring

 

 Status quo; now I ask you, who's fault is that?

 

Not the politician whose simply getting fat

 

Feeding at the trough; no, it's ours, for wanting to believe

 

Lambs to the slaughter, ripe to be deceived

 

We thought we had found a champion for a new tomorrow,

 

A good man beaten down by the empty souls who deal only in sorrow

 

The cold reality is that they don't want anything to change,

 

The political dog is suffering from mange

Powerful satire Mike. It must be so hard to go through the motions (heh heh - thats what its like, being a t**d inspector in a way) and knowing that the future belongs to the corporations and the big money people - I wonder if it didnt always and were we just not THAT aware of it. No matter what country, we are just 'marks' in a worldwide tax shake-down. No wonder apathy abounds and the countries who do the most 'stealing' from the common man are the ones who have enacted laws to make sure nothing can change - no more revolutions will be televised in the Western world.
Mange ?? It has worms, cancer and has been neutered my friend.
Class writing here Mike !!

Thank you; and you're right about you description of politics; I just didn't have enough room to list them all; and I suspect it was always this way, but it seems the players are getting more and more out their in their beliefs!, and now we're paying for it!

Yeah they definitely feel they can be more brazen in their dealings with the electorate. Their treatment of them is becoming more akin to a serfdom. But as soon as you 'red flag' yourself - which no doubt you have and probably have a nice computer file at Langley and elsewhere - you will be liable to all sorts of chicanery to shut you up.

[Michael Stevens]

Well, if they do have a file on me at Langley; I hope they enjoy failed loser humor, because that's what most of my stuff's about, not politics!

[ANTO]

Well they used to laugh at you over at Langley - guess what ...?
They're not laughing now !! lol xD

[Michael Stevens]

Well, I guess as long as they don't start heckling me!

[ANTO]

[Michael Stevens]
