I couldn't find an existing thread for political poetry, so I put this here. The Muse struck yesterday morning, and I just had to write.
I hope you like it. 
America Betrayed!
America has been betrayed
By the politicians' corporate greed,
And by a President, who's only creed
Is "Get the oil! No need for trade,
We want control, so let's invade!"
The neo-cons' agenda's weighed
In the moral balance, and found wanting,
Like the Nazis, who still are haunting
The concience of a world decayed,
A world where compassion's been mislaid.
For long the corporations preyed
On the cheapest labour they could find,
And "Profit Only!" they've enshrined,
While those who work are underpaid,
Who slave away with pen, or spade.
The politicians masquerade
As pious saviours, while they steal
The nation's sweat, and then conceal
The avarice of their charade,
While responsibility they evade.
But now the truth has been displayed,
Though we've just begun to recognize
The wolves who long were in disguise;
We're not just sheep, we're not afraid,
And we WILL NOT let our nation fade!
