Reading history
has taught me to see
little change in mankind
but for technology
Politics in any era
country or people
repeat similar promises
of protecting their sheeple
But they make secret deals
the public won’t see
and pad their own coffers
lacking responsibility
The public is told
what they want to hear
while politicians
bend to personal ears
Truth convoluted
media to hound
promote voices in votes
with promises not sound
The rich become richer
as power corrupts
the bullying precedent
overtakes much
And after elections
do mass voices count
are the pretty promises
replaced by doubt?
Because in the end
when following through
on what was promised
to what comes true
Deceived by words
questions arise
who ends up paying
for all this demise?
