This is an old one but could apply to just about anytime. Now in particular

Repetitive ways

Politicians give birth to

Endless babbling bullshit days

Take people's fears

And stress them

Tell you when to have children

And when you do

How to dress them

Go on and yap

We've heard it all before

They sell your ingredients

At the fertilizer store

Don't make us promises

You cannot deliver

Your guarantees of warmth

Only make me shiver

Perhaps I'd listen

If you made any sense

But that hot air you release

Makes the fog more dense

And while you wave flags

At your televised pep rallies

Your agents cut deals

Out back in dark alleys

On and on

With no break in the sessions

Haven't we the masses

Learned any lessons

How do we continue

To bestow any merit

I've found more character

In my friend Bob's pet ferret

With a past like theirs

Would you grant them credit

After writing your life's script

Would you let them edit

It's time we said no

Stood up and demanded

Time We The People

Took charge and commanded

Those few foolish beings

Who stroke us and claim

That they have the answers

And to trust their good name

Time has arrived

To revise the blue prints

Get the fat cats off their asses

And out there

Doing sprints
