The few that know can be silenced

So you saw a picture of me having an affair

So you saw me bribe a judge in my favor

So you saw a video of me making threats to other countries

So I passed a bill to get rid of your freedoms

So I made choices against all I said I stood for

So I made promises I had no intention of keeping

So I cheated and schemed to keep you all trapped in a broken system

So I'm not fit to run a country, let alone my own life

So what?

The rest fall swiftly towards the maw.
What better way to vent my feelings about politicians than through a medium I extremely dislike :D

I actually feel a bit proud of this quick work, I based the poem around a quote I came up with (since I'm a quote nerd :P) and I like how the style turned out :)

Comments, critiques, other? Let me have it! :D

P.S. In case anyone wants to know, yes I'm still working on 100 themes, just need a bit of editing on the latest one and it'll be up ;D

A lot of Aussies share the same sentiment over here. At the moment we have what's called a coalition government where the people are so pissed off with the major parties that neither of them can get the votes they require to govern, so independents have to agree to work with one of the major parties in order to govern. I notice you guys in the states permit independents but don't seem to vote for them so often. I think its a good way to reduce the power of the major parties. Do you know why they don't tend to in the states?
