Politics
Politics
Do you think they all lie
And not tell us the truth
Making me want to cry
You must be a sleuth
To figure out the falsehoods
Because they all tell them
Ruining our neighborhoods
Thinking we are dumb
Immigration
Too many immigrants are not good
Especially when we have laws
We have known since childhood
But it supports their cause
Build a wall
And enforce the statutes
Construct welcoming halls
And perform interviews
Teach them English
And United States history
What skills do they distinguish
And they will not be a mystery
Who are these people
Why do they come free
Make them townspeople
So we welcome them with glee
.
Poor
Too many impoverished and poor
Not earning enough to live
Live in grandeur
Or even to thrive
Why
Why can they not make a living
Where they can be healthy and spry
Is it our fault for giving
And not making them earn with grit
But there should be a safety net
But not permanent dependence
Where they act like a house pet
Giving too much
And not making them earn it
We gave many a crutch
With too much dependance
Healthcare
People deserve healthcare
Which does not make them broke
But I must swear
It is just a big joke
Redo the healthcare borders
Allowing it throughout the nation
Not prescribed to regional areas or orders
Or to a persons credit station
Putting people in debt
So they can be healed
Is a poor bet
Leading to the paupers field
Every problem can be fixed
If people want them fixed
Do politicians want them fixed
Or do they want bank accounts fixed
Lobbyist protecting their turf
Paying out gigantic sums
While we all burst
Fighting over the crumbs
Everyday people are left with poor choices
And listening to politicians is a waste
Because they do not listen to our voices
Leaving me with a bad taste
