Most of the time as a politician stands up
Along with the truth, their brain sits down.

Promising anything and everything to anyone
While posing to the public, to be on common ground.

The higher the office the greater the corruption
As candidates compete for those dead presidents of green.

While we're taxed to death to fund their pork
Our cost for everything has become obscene.

Thank God there are some better than most

Not squeaky clean, but more honest than others.

Regardless of party, they deserve our vote

For they share our thoughts like sisters and brothers.

Politicians who wish to be revered by history
Must earn their fame by living the truth.

Any who continue to mislead and deceive
Must be shunned by the voter at the booth.
