Our Lawmakers Today Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

Our two party system,
The lawmakers in power today,
Was originally created,
To keep a family dynasty away,
Has turned into a gambling place,
Where the wealthy, buy a seat to play.

You must have good connections,
To get on the ballot line,
A very popular name,
Always on the donors mind,
A real slick speaker,
To mislead the public, all the time.

A twisted unethical person,
Telling voters, what they want to hear,
Always a two sided message,
Never your closed door, deals
Always on the campaign trail,
To get elected, for many more years.
