There's no amnesty granted
unless well-paid
Reach deeply into your pockets
until perhaps,
their eyeballs jump out of their sockets

There's no bravery
when it comes to being a bully
scaring others as you'd be
You may look tough
but without the mob,
you're so tiny

There's no curse
without anyone making it worse
pointing fingers
reciting prayers
in hopes for the enemies to suffer
countless times and more

There's no denying
of what's been sinking
a bad blood over arguments
as each is dying to win

Is it everlasting?
What are we thinking?
Is this another sign of a dying dream,
a vivid reminder of what's not permanent?

There's no real friendship
not in politics
only a few promises to keep
and many lies that make you tick

Some good people keep quiet
just to avoid causing more riot
Can you blame them for playing safe?
Still, they end to feeling helpless

Use the heart
and they call you weak
and bloody sensitive
Use the brain
and you're calculative
but rather cold with a mean streak

Now what?
There's no true love
No, never in politics
What you give is never enough
What you receive may get you sick

In politics,
everything's flexible
Nothing's permanent

Question everything.
