Theme to ponder

If an honest politician
when he is bought
stays with the same patron
then honesty is to be found
even among the legal lobbyists
this theme makes sense - !
All you have to do
is pay a premium price
to ensure that your enterprise
is heard -
ere
someone else just pays
a tiny trifling more
and now the over-all objective
changed -
an moronic oxymoron

Not really a poem, just a tidbit!
An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought.
Simon Cameron
US financier & politician (1799 - 1889)
Found on Michael Moncur's Cynical quotes
