Politics Is An Enterprise

Politics is an enterprise Prediction must bow to intrigue and surprise You could philosophize in detail but then have to summarize You could appeal in entirety or locally polarize You could seek to cause but things unfold to make you realize And in all these, some will be cast down and some will arise Politics is an enterprise Trading supporters who support and critics who criticize Propagandists who propagate and sensitizers who sensitize Dividing the cake by influence and pocket size All dockets are assigned who to lead and who to deputize So tell me who rules between the rich and the wise Politics is an enterprise The standing of countries is by economic size As good and as meaningful as is dedication and sacrifice It comes to the fore for fallen heroes when we eulogize But the wealth that can organize, disorganize and reorganize Is in full effect without regard for sunset or sunrise Politics is an enterprise To be honest, people have paid the price Can we therefore call the profit thereof a vice Only if instead of sheepdogs we have a band of mice I say it is serious business in selling hope in no disguise So be one who thinks twice K. Muitherero.
