SAND CASTLES <\/p>\n

There’s way too much confusion,
\nSpread across our world today,
\nPoliticians spewing their lies,
\nDon’t listen to a word they say.<\/p>\n

It’s just power, fame and money,
\nThey seek as their one true goal,
\nBut as for the suffering little men,
\nThey don’t care about your soul.<\/p>\n

Yes, fast-talking career politicans,
\nRicher one deception at a time,
\nShady deals underneath the table,
\nYet they rarely pay for their crime.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile all of the poor people,
\nStruggling hard to make ends meet,
\nSo often they run out of resources,
\nAnd end up living on some street.<\/p>\n

But God above is keeping a record,
\nOppression of the poor He does hate,
\nWhile the elite may now build castles,
\nOne day they will meet a nasty fate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
