Politics
An acrostic: POLITICS IS EVIL

P ower-mongers and political entrepreneurs
O usting ideals to line their pockets
L eeching our freedoms to pander to the corporations
I nviting their eyes and fists into our homes and office
T esting their domination in our living rooms
I nstead ceasing to hear or help their constituents
C aring only for their level of political power and wealth
S evering the people's trust and influence

I ncreasing interest in citizen's private affairs
S ecret agendas yet permeate their lairs

E xcercising our freedoms require more and more permits
V alues circumvented by policy and paranoia
I ncessant monitoring of our actions and property
L essening freedoms daily their only propaganda
