Politician

Is a good politician (A) one who determines

the wishes of most of his constituents,

and works with absolute diligence

to achieve these aims— no thoughts of his own,

Or does he (B) try to educate

and lead his ignorant, floundering flock

to a better and safer way of life—

a higher plane of existence?

We all know (C) is not correct:

to fleece the public for personal gain,

and certain, corporate, financial advantage,

so no breath need be wasted on that.

The answer is (B)! He’s an educator!

A leader and a shepherd of sorts!

I won’t say Good, that would be too much,

like a Communist or a Religious Nut.

But truly, The Public could use some help

thinking through matters of Policy.
