Crime does not pay, as well as does politics

Poem Artwork


 


Shoot someone in face and chest,


From the beginning not confessed,


No charges being filed, not like the rest,


As per usual, everything else is suppressed…


 


Politics is still crime,


No one will drop a dime,


Some politicians are nothing but slime,


Will you have with your corona a lime…?


 


Presidential favors,


No charges because of waivers,


Politicians for others are all savers,


Let them eat cake and ice cream in any flavors…

Ed,

Spot on. I figgered he's get off...we'd do something like that, they'd bury us UNDER the jail for life. Sad commentary, excellent write.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Sometimes it really is an accident but because we are known in politics or famous in Hollywood it becomes a crime through media madness............. Don't know for sure in this case? All I know is if I had accidently shot my friend I wouldn't be in any mood to talk either until I was sure my friend was okay.
