I do not care for political scandal and intrigues
because only those with the same moral guilt,
the same capacity for wrongdoing, throw the
stones, whenever they come to power they
become worse dictators
People blaming others for what is wrong just wait
to sing their own song of corruption - I appreciate
them playing games and wish them luck; whistle-
blowers take over from those they sack, no reform
possible in a world where
The morally pure never accuse and never enter
politics, the poor will always be helpless as moguls
play with money and might, I refuse to join any camp
as the game is to become the next powerful despot
and use the poor masses
As fodder to feed the machine churning above, no
self-righteous person can accuse another as we all
have the same ability to commit the same crimes
given that the same circumstances apply to us all…

You're saying it's hopeless... and maybe it is. But in America, I still have hope. The solution in this country is to have an informed electorate. If the people would simply vote in their own best self-interest, after having carefully weighed all the issues, I have no doubt the best possible candidate would always win, in all sectors of gov't. And when you have a House and Senate filled with the best, things begin to move forward. Unfortunately, at the current time we are a nation of rednecks who'd rather watch 'reality' television. Your poem is effective, if bleak..
