Tyrants All Our Politicians Be

Tyrants all our politicians be
They care no whit for me and thee
Re-election remains their lone concern
They try all tricks our vote to earn

With fingers up they test the wind
To find the way their vote to send
They fund and follow a focus group
To seek new means to lie and dupe

Special interest votes they fear to loose
Careful calculation tells whom they choose
They have no care for wrong or right
Their self-serving serves our nation’s blight

Lobbyists' gifts provide peevish politiced blood 
For from their vote does prohibited money flood
Terms with no limits spawn disaffected harlotry
So from our system springs reelected larceny 

Coda:

When with misfortune and disgrace our nation dies
When her lofty honor rudely fades forsaken
In Christ alone our victory lies
For faith fulfills his fully firm foundation
