We The People

Sinful indulgence at the cost

of we the people

Blind to your ability to bait

and switch with each cast

of the rod, fishing for votes

Speaches filled with humor

and promises left unfulfilled

will we the people never learn

spinning the bottle to elect

bringing forth the same outcome

Denial is a pretty blanket in

which to hide ignorance

We the people can no longer

blame bureaucrats for our dismay

when we put the welcome mat out

when we hide in black holes of self pity
