Let’s Vote Them In Again!

A nine percent approval rate
Fifty-four say, “theirs” are alright
We just can’t admit we’re wrong
Try to use your brain, its might.

If so many think this-a-way
They’re not using, common sense
We should make all politicians
A big part, of the past, tense.

They’ve lied and have screwed us
Yet, we’ll vote them in again
Just so we can be smug and think
“Yes! My ‘party’ (?), won again!”

Just ask this to yourself
“What have they really done?”
They made, saying, “I’m American!”
Not nearly, as much fun.

We have the wealth of our Nation
Our jobs, and our lifestyle
Exported, to other countries
While, the rich, get richer, “Smile!”

For, you’re on “Candid Camera”
Where people do, the dumbest things
Well, just keep on what, we’re doing
We’ll see what stupid, “Stupid”, brings!

A very clear message, I thoroughly enjoyed the rhyming, too.

Reality does not rely on consensus. Everyone could believe the sky is made of marble, for instance, does that make it right? It does not matter what the majority think, and even less so when they're not educated on the subject.

I enjoyed this Abe..good thoughts

I respond to N.P. with this quote..for further thought.

"Any man more right than his neighbors constitutes a majority of one."
