POLITICAL BRIBERY
by Bill Kochman
08-06-2024
Well a politician calls it debt relief,
But it seems so much like a bribe,
They will give you a lot of freebies,
So you'll always vote for their tribe.
They can't actually buy your vote,
So they'll disguise it another way,
Through their government benefits,
Do remember them on election day.
They will appear to be your friends,
Making your life as easy as can be,
But as for their actual motivation,
They will conceal it so very cleverly.
Oh come now get your free housing,
And food stamps to keep you fed,
Welfare is likewise another option,
Medicaid so you don't end up dead.
Yes, let's open up all our borders,
So millions of illegals can come in,
Convince them to choose our party,
Then certainly, we are sure to win.
They will even hand out cell phones,
Plus a bus ticket to get some place,
Their real goal is not just to help you,
But to win an upcoming political race.
Now I don't condemn such programs,
Some folks really need them I know,
But it is how politicians use them,
Ensuring their voter roll will grow.
Everyone likes to get free things,
And there's nothing wrong with that,
Yet beware of those sly politicians,
Who just want to tip the political hat.
