The Political Game

Please, let me play the political game,
I'll pay for the ads to get a name,
With enough cash, I'll be selected,
Fix voting machines, quite undetected,
Pay off the Court to be elected,
Use special media for public's seduction,
Try to make billions on all-out corruption,
Use preachers to pontificate
On 'values and sacred soil',
While I and my buddies prosper on oil,
Keep a war economy well fed,
With just a few thousand Americans dead,
And if I constantly repeat the same lie,
They'll believe - won't even ask why;
And my rich friends will be richer,
And the masses will be poorer,
All done by me - the master obscurer,
And in the end, I really don't care,
For I'll be a multi-billionaire,
With my family in the power elite,
My descendants never ever in need,
My misdeeds - quite rotten,
Soon forgotten.
