SOLD OUT!

The will of the people
has been replaced
by ineffective leadership
corruption and bad taste

Washington elitest
who only serve their own
political insiders
sitting on the thrown

offshoring well earned dignity
and your weekly paycheck
conspiring with greed
while demanding respect

selling us their goods
but lying to our face
the whole freaking thing
is such a damn disgrace

the power of money
the allegiance it buys
marches ahead
as our democracy dies

billionaire fat cats
pulling all the strings
dictating the laws
the wealth that it brings

poisoning its people
with tainted toxic water
silencing the voice
of those who don't matter

denying accountability
for any wrong doing
hiding behind rhetoric
and a false nobility

the corrupt paradigm
that has become our system
divides and deceives
only widening the schism

to most with half a brain
there is no doubt
it's hard to ignore
we've been -- SOLD OUT!

BASTARDS... :))

A distinctive poem And awareness.You are posting awareness on your page

I guess awareness is a good place to start...

I am sold on your "Sold out". Oh! When it comes to leadership of our countries, I 'get it'. It's hard not to despair, when we keep electing vile, self serving politicians.

It's a vicious circle, that just keeps taking...

intelligently written :)
