'The Political Game'

Agreements sought after in backroom meetings

sweat and effort drains the weary souls

bench players holler, shout and fuss

everyone is determined,

stuck in rigid beliefs

The game proceeds to hard locked stalemate

team A delivers a vicious punch

team B is stubborn and will not budge

positions defended no matter the cost

frozen by dreadful fear of job loss

cheerleaders may vote them out

Oh, dear congress person, senators and president

be brave, be brave and speak out of the pack

think out of the worn out political box

go to the benches where the moderates sit

some team A and some team B

Be brave, be brave

inner rewards are great

peace with self

how much is that worth?

Some team A, some team B

don’t you see?
