Where Have All Our Statesmen Gone?

 

Where Have All Our Statesmen Gone?

Where have all our statesmen gone,

with interests not involved in crime

that show respect and honesty

and build our country with their time.

Instead we have a useless bunch

with condescending smiles

all lousy actors, some insane

a hubris that compiles.

Forever they keep floating up

no way to get rid of their smell

sewage made for TV screens

these candidates all from hell.

A condescending carrousel

that spins around to change the face

with pure excrement in the wings

that they expect us to embrace.

Statements made, subversive speeches

with crafted empty platitudes

while rubbing shoulders with their kind

in club G7 attitudes.

“Look at us, we’re the gods of all!”

“you peons will do as we say!”

their arrogance is out of hand

with belligerence on display.

Regardless of the year to date,

regardless of western nation,

politics is mental disease

and parasitic mutation.

Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden

they claim a moral position

while burning down economies

for merger and transition.

Sarkozy, Hollande and Macron,

swagger arrogance as French kings

they boast themselves as thunder

but have those paper bag swings.

Johnson, Truss, now Rishi Sunak

are another English layer

of that condescending factor

by bad actors and bad players.

But no ones more embarrassing

than Canada’s Justin Trudeau

cause he’s just like that Harper

with a narcissistic show.

They’re all involved in council’s greed

and the C.F.R.’s corporate game

partnered with the banks and WEF,

that ruthless triad has no shame.

And Germany, what happened there?

Have politicians lost their minds?!

They’ve turned their country upside down

with massive shock of fiscal kind.

Don’t get me started with Ardern

to New Zealand, she’s a lune

callous queen so condescending

no intelligence, she’s immune.

So where have all our statesmen gone,

with interests not involved in crime

that show respect and honesty

and build our countries with their time.

Western Politicians

Western Politicians

I really don’t like politicians,

I think they’re all scum,

their lies, their graft and bullshit,

in the webs that they have spun.

They lie to you on cam’ra,

their elections are a ruse,

and when they come to power,

the dictators are let loose.

You cannot call them honest,

when the laws they pass are crimes,

instead, they work against you,

form the darkness of these times.

They’re willing puppets of the wealthy,

ilk that cast a siege,

the ones that take your freedoms,

with the proof now in decrees.

All hail those private pockets,

railroad the public more,

please gift them all our assets,

that leaves our country poor.

Board positions await them,

for every thieving favor,

and stock, well that’s a secret,

a present from the slaver.

Their service grants huge pensions,

of the likes we’ll never see,

it fortifies their mansions,

above the poverty.
