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.
