It's called politics so you need to pull it thick,

Some pull out when it's thick while others pull out the ticks,

Lies in the air like lice in the hair;

They turn a polling unit to appalling units

POLITRICKS - Compact shun without compassion; too broke to pay attention - kleezypen.com
.

Too broke to pay attention, and so they play attention;

Leaders turn masses to ladders through the core option of corruption,

Dying transparency without leaving conspiracy;

Behind magnetic masks in a bid to look attractive

.

Metallic jingles tingling fear as masses wiggle under weighs that jiggle;

The masses wait to be rid of their weighty masses;

Tangled to an angle with bangles that dangle,

By Democracy surviving crazy demons

.

The mono and the poly; yes! The poly with some trick,

Monopoly; poly tricks; time ticks; poly-thick,

Boo Harry off or not; Patience is married to good luck,

So, to enjoy good luck, you must understand patience

.

We thrust them forth in trust hoping that they heal the rust,

Then they change like ABC and begin to Pee The Pee;

Peel the pea called people and drown them in a pee-pool,

They spell out democracy to spare themselves yet spear the people

.

They see themselves higher; not the same with those they hire;

Reserve peanuts for lowers whom they call followers,

They rig minds with deceit; rig elections for the seat,

The lies stand higher; seems to make truth fall lower

.

And so by default, workers turn super-strikers;

Either Government waves the fault or they just play defenders,

Now, who should hold the forte as number one goal keeper

Despite the fort of Justice; this game turns out dirty
