POLITICIANS


Most of the time as a politician stands up,
Along with the truth, their brain sits down.
Promising anything and everything to anyone,
While posing to the public, to be on common ground.

The higher the office the greater the corruption,
As candidates compete for those dead presidents of green.
While we're taxed to death to fund their pork
Our cost for everything has become obscene.

Thank God there are some better than most,
Not squeaky clean, but more honest than others.
Regardless of party, they deserve our vote,
For they share our thoughts like sisters and brothers.

Politicians who wish to be revered by history,
Must earn their fame by living the truth.
Any who continue to mislead and deceive,
Must be shunned by the voter at the booth.

This is what I have believed all along, about our Canadian governments.  They all too often fill their pocketbooks while taking it out of ours.  Timely poem as we just vote in municipal elections.  Well done.
