Politics Is Poem by Kevin Patrick

Politics Is



Politics is the science of Hypocrisy
Manipulating diplomacy and megalomaniac sycophancy
Chasing after the breadcrumbs of power
Like pigeons amassing around pensioners
And eyeing you carefully to steal a warm meal
It is composed of people, who’s failing ailing’s
Are they couldn’t compete with honest bank robbers
Charismatic charlatans and post graduating Hucksters
That understand the decency when they knife you in the back
And don’t expect a photo-op or compensation pay cheque
They spend half theirs days saying one thing and doing another
And act all offended if you caught them with their pants down
Psychologist would call this a symptom of a Psychopathic Behaviour
But in the real world it’s the hallmark of being a good leader
Since Integrity is being pragmatic about how to make up a character
It is a chessboard for fools, gun ho strategist and art school rejects
Compensating for lacking their strings to the master puppets
There is no civil decency in this game of full stakes
Where the wagers are made without thought of consequence
And every choice that’s made creates a thousand more risks
Rippling the butterflies wings of history
The one thing you can count on that it does well
Is creating obfuscation in well-ordered organization
Patented by middle men who tie their toes around their shoes
Until the definition of incompetence is bureaucracy
Transparency is a fallacy, accountabilities a prank
The only sure solution is to never trust the law
Live with both eyes open and see the truth for what it is
Politics is the cancer of human history
