THE SEDUCTION OF POWER
by Cynthia Buhain-Baello
October 24, 2008
Oh the sight of you swallows me,
The greens and the gold -
And the prospects of authority!
You make me feel young not old.
I'd bask in endless applause,
Drunk in the wine of dominion.
Who cares whatever the cause?
Who speaks for the Constitution?
Forget the Joes and the Pauls,
The Karens and the Whatevers,
Let them whine, for after all-
I want YOU and the coffers.
Some more houses I have to get,
Let them lose theirs, who cares?
When I'm seduced by you I forget
Whatever's true , whatever's fair.
To hold you in my hands I dream,
Sit on you like you're everything
Taking me to great heights, it seems
I'm deaf and blind to all suffering.
It's not my fault that you seduced me,
I have official immunity, see?
However I use you makes me free
To get away from all the scrutiny.
Power, I have to have you!
When we're one, the people don't matter
And whatever together we do,
We'll just live happily ever after.
(Can we marry in November?)
God help us, that's all I can say! This country's in a mell of a hess, and it ain't gonna get better anytime soon unless a miracle occurs (or if God intervenes)!!

You and I on the same page, Cynthia: they'll say ANYTHING to get into office; once in there, they forget who put them there. They don't give a rip unless it satisfies their own greed, their own interests: phooey to the little guy. Spending thousands on food and clothes, getting a yearly cost of living raise, while seniors wonder if they can get medicine; normal citizens are one paycheck away from foreclosure after bills; and children are going hungry on the mean streets ... and Veterans who served their country are giving wages that wouldn't feed a flea. Shame on them: they need to GET REAL! Heartbreakingly penned truth, well done.
Peace,
Bill :-)
