Stock-In-Trade For Politicians
Average politicians use the voter trust.
Corruption and hypocrisy
is their selfish thrust.
Average politicians use an ambuscade.
Corruption and hypocrisy
is their old charade.
Average politicians use a good regime.
Corruption and hypocrisy
is their covert scheme.
Average politicians use a concealment.
Corruption and hypocrisy
is their service stunt.
Average politicians use a verbose spin.
Corruption and hypocrisy
is their mortal sin.
Average politicians use the fellowman.
Corruption and hypocrisy
is their master plan.
Average politicians use a cunning ploy.
Corruption and hypocrisy
is their rescue buoy.
Average politicians use a masquerade.
Corruption and hypocrisy
is their stock-in-trade.
