Ridged Brass Handle

Like a politician's integrity
Exploiting
Polishing

But never too heavily as the brass might shine
On a handle
That people might grasp

In the UK that would now be a crime
If spoken within 200 yards of a designated area

When a sniffer dog could tell
What you were wearing

And only because some guy cared enough to protest in all weathers

So UK Lawmakers

Could hear him

Polishing

A rough

Rigded Brass Handle

I write stuff about the UK as the US is part of us, entwined together

But you don't get the restrictions, nor Ministers who refuse to obey the "Courts of Justice" which tend to be more accurate than a 'Politician'

You are right when you say that politicians polish what they say and that they exploit and so forth. Good poem with good points in it. Our governments are infiltrated with liars and people who will do anything to get what they want.
