Creases in your face
Make them think
You are sincere,
But the truth is,
You are lying
Through your teeth.
The more you flash
Those pearly whites,
The more you stray
From an honest take
On whatever you’ve been
Caught doing, that takes
From those who barely have,
And gives to those, like you,
Who don’t need.
For as long as I can remember,
Republicans have been complaining
About welfare for the poor,
And social security for the elderly
And disabled,
Those evil handouts.
All the while, the rich get richer,
And the poor get poorer.
But that’s not enough, apparently.
Now the poor will suffer illness
And lack for education,
While the super wealthy get more
Tax breaks and kickbacks
For their connections and power.
It really is sad
How the working middle class
Has been fooled
By your antics and smokescreens,
Giving their last dollar
To support you and all you stand for,
Then voting you and your cronies
Into power, only for you to take away
Their lifelines in the economy.
