Country politics

Politics as usual

politics and parlor tricks

 

Gerrymandered and grand standing

back and forth insults

 

constituents charged the dime

every time delivering a cut

 

to waiting special interest groups

feeding frenzy of madness, 

 

with budget cuts to the poor and needy

more pork for the greedy

 

subjective, objective

predispositions, stated case

 

relevance, common sense

personal opinions over facts

 

now devolved to slander 

outright lies and personal attacks

 

hold on! let's give every dog a bone

lets take this all in stride...

 

take a recess from this mess

get this good food on this table blessed

 

i want to engage 

every remote possibility

 

take emotion out of the equation

study it from every angle

 

extract the essential truth 

from its component parts

 

fry it up with some fresh collards

rice and black-eyed peas

 

seasoned with cows feet

add homemade cornbread

 

forget the former arguments

let's eat!
