They Are But Tools
Politicians deserve not your allegiance - they work FOR you!14 total reviews

Yvette, I must disagree with you. Politicians don't work for us... they work for the almighty dollar. They make promises they don't keep, but they keep the money they make. They will kiss your baby and steal your purse as they smile and shout, "Vote for Me!" This is a good entry for the 5-7-5 Contest.

This 5-7-5, They Are But Tools, has the proper formatting and reminds us that these people we are fretting over are not kings or gods, but OUR representatives who answer to us.

Good morning, Yvette,
Your posting is brave.
Politicians, for the most part, disgust me. And they most certainly do not define who I am!
One nit: concious (conscious)
Best wishes,
diane

Comment from Sally Law
Jumping in the deep in already, I see. Warning: it has gotten really bad on here, and the political divide widens by the day.
But We the People have serious problems. Israel just stuck back at Iran on a nuclear energy mountain. And here we are, slinging mud daily at the old president instead of holding the new one accountable--for anything. Work for us? They should but for the most part they don't. I really wonder who is really in the White House. You understand this patriots concern. God help us!
Typo: conscious.
Well penned with a great message inside.
Sending you my best today as always, and my best for the vote.

The world is certainly balancing? teetering? on a pin top right now, my lady, and more questions exist than answers... Thank you for your review, my lady. Always appreciated.
Comment from royowen
So are bureaucrats tax funded servants, although they don't act like that. A difficult question, I managed to overcome party politics allegiance, mainly because it was traditional and generational, but I broke that chain, I tend to vote for the cross benches, because they keep government relatively honest, but lots of bribery goes on, it's the system that's sick, with withdrawal of accountability, there's a sense of hopelessness isn't there Yvette? A stream of consciousness. . But yours is a good suggestion, blessings Roy

Hopelessness indeed, sir -- and sheer frustration with demonstrated ignorance and 'fan boy' mentality... ugh!! Thank you for your review, Roy. Always appreciated.

Contrary to their belief, but undeniably true! Our politicians are quick to attribute their beliefs to a great amorphous mass called 'the Australian people'

Comment from lyenochka
I totally agree and I like your reference to Machiavelli! The parties and their candidates do not define us. We need to stop making our political parties like our favorite football team and get all emotional about defending them!
Best wishes in the contest!
Your concious identity... (conscious)
Politicians - no matter they're affiliation (their)

So very true, though it is still mystifying, as we pay them and as you say they work for us, they still do not take any notice of us, and presume to tell us what to do, an excellent 5-7-5, very well written, best wishes for your contest****kahpot
