If you’ve lived a year or longer
Be ye gentleman or lady
You’ve observed that politicians
Can behave a wee bit shady
They pass laws to take your money
And they think it’s theirs to play with
The prevailing code of conduct
Is what they can get away with
If you catch them up to something
That they shouldn’t oughta do
They respond with indignation
That they didn’t have a clue
They tell gullible reporters
All the loopholes that they’ll slash
Then have dinners with their donors
While they’re raking in the cash
They portray us all as victims
And make sure it’s understood
With some resume enhancement
That they share our victimhood
They present a pure persona
Like they’re holier than though
While they privately admire
The techniques of Chairman Mao
Is it something in the ether
Or this Kool-Aid that I’m sipping
But I’m hearing though the grapevines
Scales of justice may be tipping
On these two investigations
By the IG and the AG
When we ask about their progress
Those who answer play it cagey
Some I know are losing patience
Things have not been looking well
And we’re thinking that for justness
There’s a snowball’s chance in hell
Others, known for their perspective
And with whom there’s no debating
As is their consistent practice
Wisely counsel patient waiting
So, I’m making a prediction
Nostradamus couldn’t be bolder
Hell itself may not be freezing
But it sure is getting colder
