Politics

Creeping in like a snake, seeping in for the sake 

of maneuvering fate and obsessing
over trivial things, over casual flings 

over tightening strings -- over dressing

Oozing in like dark sludge out of drains left unplugged
letting budgets begrudge who needs feeding
Seeking rite over right over sight in the night 

while our heroes, our white knights lie bleeding

Undermining resistance, redefining assistance 

superficial existence impending
and progression's rejected deflected infected 

by some bureaucrat thief's under-spending

Rendered blind deaf and dumb yet sublime with aplomb
Look, our leaders are gunning for glory

Relativity's a ruse
Space and time are confused
Laws of physics abused
