There always has been crooked politicians since democracy first started
It isn’t a career that should be pursued by the fainthearted
The one to occupy the seat has to be elected by their peers
That’s the way countries have operated for hundreds of years
Those selected are supposed to benefit the people who put them there
After all they are the ones responsible for putting them in that chair
Their duties are to enact the laws and decide how our tax money is being spent
The “Prime Minister” is the leader in Canada, in the States it’s “President
The legislators of these countries are held in high acclaim
In Canada you are called “Honourable” before your name
Perhaps it was something that these members started on their own
The fact that they should be held in such high regard is a little overblown
How did they achieve this title is something I have to question
Did they all vote for this while they were all in session?
When you are elected as a “Mayor”, “Your Worship” is how they are addressed
No wonder some of these politicians think they are so superior to the rest
Perhaps in days of old you could hide what happens behind the scenes
Now what is occurring in today’s world is totally obscene
Members are more concerned for themselves than the ridings that they serve
Yet we still vote them into office so we get what we deserve
It seems that people with lots of money are elected to a post
They have little regard to the ones who need help the most
The rich are getting richer while the rest of us are trying to get by
Half the “Americans” are still believers in the “Big Lie”
Down there it’s a circus and there is no end in sight
It makes me stop to wonder if they will ever get it right
Canadians are accused of becoming “Americanized” by the lifestyle of the United States
If we don’t smarten up we are doomed to a similar fate
I can already see some of our own politicians that are copying their style
A lot of our fellow “Canucks” are getting more than a little hostile
Having more than two political parties seems to benefit us here
Although I don’t appreciate the antics of our Ontario Premier
He seems to be making his own rules but so far we are keeping him in check
With every day that passes he is losing even more respect
He seems to think he has the power to put worker’s unions in their place
The way he has handled the whole situation is a total disgrace
Capping public sector workers raises to one percent is what he wants to do
He is working hard as he can in an effort to get this legislation through
To think we have to call “Doug Ford” honourable is such a shame
I can think of a few more adjectives that can be placed before his name
