<u>A Modern Politician</u>


    <u> </u>


    Under a sky of misinformation,


    And on a land of lies.


    Dancing to the hands of their puppet-masters


    This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    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.
