Our Political Menu

"And to say that society ought to be governed by the wisest and the best, though true, is useless. Whose opinion is to decide who are the wisest or the best?" Thomas B Macaulay (1800-1859)

Unfortunately, the wisest and best are too busy in their quest for success to be bothered with leading a country. Leading a company is much more lucrative

OUR POLITICAL MENU

Within these borders where are they?

Those with integrity, patriotism, and unselfish goals

Is it We the People who overlook them?

The potential leaders who can make this country whole

How is it that the corrupt are the ones willing to serve?

Is their "service" undermined by selfish desires?

Or is it the corrupt factions that groom the candidates?

Elections are a farce, they are shills we hire

Too few are those with the integrity we should demand

Far too easy for a country of voters to be swayed

So simple, the answer could be an informed constituency

Yet so many of us are too  uninvolved for reasonable decisions to be made

A trip to the polls used to be such a moving event

Were we not proud to be the folks who made the choices?

Why do we even bother when the candidates are corrupt?

And they are groomed by those with very deep pockets and convincing voices

Our political menu consists of people like Obama and Pelosi

Puppets of Soros, inane mindless loons

Unfortunately our chosen entrees have been tainted

By socialistic factions and their ultra-subversive goons
