Corruption

Special interests
Spreading money
Amongst officials,
Who, with tongues of honey,
Steal slyly public money,
Private sector seduction,
Facilitating government corruption,
Wars, supposedly fought for flag and soil,
Are really started for profits on the oil,
And young men die - but don't know why,
Debts are way up - employment down,
The voters at fault - they elected this clown.
