Politics As Usual
by Todd Outcalt
The world we want creates the world we hate:
The starving millions in their simple huts,
The politicians and their cloistered guts,
And all the horrors we can contemplate.
The rhetoric spills over into bites
That pundits and their cronies turn to cash
For Democrats or GOPs to bash
While debating in the lefts and rights.
There's money in the books these people pen.
There's millions in their marches organized.
And yet for all the talk shows, none are wise,
And we believe their words and tune them in.
One wonders why we crave the talking heads
To give them so much life though we were dead.
