The Politician's Prayer
by George Fripley → (All Poetry by George Fripley)
   Rated "PG" by the Author.

It is alleged that all politicians say this prayer every night before they go to bed.

Our government, somehow elected,

Delusion be our game.

My god we're dumb

But there's work to be done

And blame to be deflected.

Delay us today our daily decisions.

And forgive us our empty promises,

As we forgive those who make empty

  promises in response.

And lead us not into innovation,

But deliver us from progress.

For we have the politicians,

With the power and the will

To speak bullshit

For ever and ever.

 

Amen.

Witty and on the money, George;
"And lead us not into innovation" ...luv it!
