Serving Themselves Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Watching intently, the world of politics, noticing the
corruption that politicians keep trying to downplay.

Seeing their eyes darting around, never able to look
anyone in the eyes, because they are lying.

Attitude of their bodies standing away from the person
they are talking to, instead of straight on.

Not wanting to concede to the truth, wanting to hide
behind their selfish motives.

Possibilities being ignored of representing the people
they serve in every way, wanting only to serve themselves.
