"These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without featlessness and worship without awareness." Anthony de Mello (1931-1937) A priest and psychotherapist from Mambai, India
CROOKED POLITICIANS
Have ye no principles, Mr. Politician?
How can your misdeeds make your country strong?
You are tearing down the foundation it was founded upon
Am I wrong?
How can you move us forward when you have no compassion?
Does not the pursuit of happiness ring true in your mind?
Your selfish votes show inhumane disregard
How can you be so unkind?
Does the wealth that you gain off the back of constituents
Cause you joy without regret?
You were chosen to represent us, not steal from the people
How soon did you forget?
Yet there you sit high in life so superior
Having sworn on the Bible to serve
You've prospered from your seat of representation
Sir, have you no honest nerve?
