Don't shine me on.
Don't pull my chain.
Don't try and manipulate me
For your own political gain.
I am sick and weary
Of conniving politicians.
With their beguiling charm
And insidious ambitions.
What happened
To our trusted public official
Who was honest and conscientious?
For the nation - beneficial.
Where are the Lincolns,
Jeffersons, Roosevelts and Trumans
Those hardworking souls
Who were first - respectable humans.
Instead of the political shysters
And patronizing voices.
I am tired of elections
Where there are no good choices.
To be fair, there are a few politicians
That seem pretty smart.
At least those that appear to have
The good of our nation at heart.
