IQ & Drug Test

I think each, and every politician
Should have to take these tests to see
If all of them are idiots, on drugs
Because, that’s how they seem to be.

The smart ones in our Nation
Seem to shun that kind of job
So, we keep on voting in those
Who, lie to us, and we let rob.

We all say, “I’m a democrat!”
Or, “I’m independent!”
Or , “I’m proud republican!”
Well, that’s where our Country went‼

We’ve split our dedications
We can’t say, “I’m just American!”
We’ve got to fight each other
With, that phrase, “I am….”

No more career politicians
Term limits for them all
Just because they are failures
Why, should we all take the fall?

And all those who get financial aid
(Why should we pay for more?)
Should at least, take a drug test
To prove what those benefits, are for.

Get pregnant, have a baby
And get, your monthly sum raised up
After one, sterilize them all
And, have them pee into a cup.

Entitlements?Too many!
Especially when not earned
Just food, housing, and medical
It seems we should have learned?

We let the big money rule us
We leave the poor, get sick and die
People who really need us
We let go, the by, and by.

We need to get back to basics
Of Freedom, Love, and Trust
For the survival of our Nation
These three things, are a must.

Couldn't agree more and this is true for many other Nations too.

Much truth in your well written poem.

Well, hell Abe, this speaks to me in every single line. We are a very spoiled and doomed nation I feel. I can't possibly see it turning around. My novel, "Margaret and David: A Love Story" speaks of this.
