DEMOCRACY

DEMOCRACY

Our government is at a standstill as both sides undermine each other

It doesn’t appear our politicians are acting much like brothers.

With both parties fighting all the time it seems nothing gets completed

Unless you count their indiscretions and all the body parts they’ve tweeted.

Or affairs that take them from the governor’s mansion to a cozy little cantina

Not hiking along the Appalachian trail but to the streets of Argentina.

Now I know politicians are men and women like you and me

But how happy are you with these stewards of our democracy?

It may be that I’m an idealist and perhaps these two sides will never get along

After all even Benjamin Franklin couldn’t keep his wiener where it belonged?

But I’m tired of the gridlock and the partisan political rants

And I wish today’s politicians could keep their wieners in their pants.

But if they can’t keep those wieners tucked safely in their pants

Do you really believe these men we trust deserve a second chance?

Once they’ve trampled on that trust and made us gasp and sob

Perhaps it’s time to tell them go find another job.

Yes there is a chance our government will never again move ahead

With both sides at an impasse perhaps this democracy is dead.

But I hope the next generation will learn from this one’s mistakes

And will, through their sweat and tears, this democracy remake.

So a bit of advice to future politicians and all those who want to be them.

Please work together… and whatever you do… keep those wieners where no one of us can see them.
