So I Dream
Politicians rarely do what is needful, only if expedient They are all so greedful, with more than can be spent See them stand there sincerely, butter wouldn’t melt Hearts frozen, all ice and stone, so nothing’s ever felt Any cause moves them if it will win them an election Convince you they‘ll more than help, […]
