An Unfortunate System

How quickly politicians dole out promises
Hiding behind false smiles; webs of deceit
Our nation has no choice but to repeat
A cycle of fooling the simple novices

Out of capital shadow our hope must emerge
A new face of common sense and purity;
Amidst our dire times a sincere rarity
To lead on a nation's redeeming surge

You make a very good point about politics here. I like the link between your point and your source for the found poem - All the King's Men? Was that intentional or accidental? If it was accidental, it was a happy and pointed coincidence. A plus. - elmeer
