Right,

How shall I begin?

Perhaps with a little flattery then a small dose of lies,

Soon I will be exported into a franchise.

Wherever did the word government come from?

To govern wisely and to use good judgement I guess,

But all they seem to do is oppress.

Shocking stories of corruption with senators on the take,

Sin has spat its venom due to that wily old snake.

I liked the rhyme.

Now I am off to spend some of your tax dollars...

"cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind"
~Sarah McLachlan~

Raise that fist in the air my friend! Exelent write, good rhyme too, those would be great song lyrics.
