Oh, politics, that wondrous game we play,
Where truth is buried deep, and lies hold sway.
Where promises are made, then swiftly betrayed,
And backroom deals are how the bills are paid.
Elected officials, oh so noble and just,
Yet their pockets bulge with power and lust.
They preach of justice, equality for all,
But behind closed doors, they watch kingdoms fall.
Campaigns fueled by cash, oh what a sight,
Democracy for sale, every single night.
Lobbyists whisper sweet nothings in ears,
While the common folk drown in their fears.
Partisan battles rage with such delight,
Each side convinced they alone are right.
But compromise? Oh, what a quaint idea,
In this game of power, it’s winner-take-all, I fear.
So let us raise a toast to politics,
Where honesty and integrity take their licks.
A system so broken, it’s beyond repair,
But don’t worry, dear citizens, they’ll always pretend to care.
