Disillusion

I've traveled this globe
Far and wide,
Seen the ebb,
Seen the tide,
Seen decent
People of renown,
Seen as president
A clown,
But never have I seen
So many lobbyists
Engaging in seduction
And wide-spread
Political corruption,
Where people starve
On minimum wage
And Congress
Keeps them in a cage,
While CEO s
And corporations
Rob our nation.
