Regardless of How Blatant

They pat each other on the back,
For a con job well done.
And the people fall for that.
Knowing their best interests have been shunned.

And regardless of how blatant,
The degrading act of this appears...
The people await for more of this,
With a round of applause...
And encouraging all to stand tall and cheer!

As they roll their eyes at those who scoff.
In stances to defend...
The increasing decadence,
That has jeopardized their quality of life.
With no end in sight!
And believing themselves to be envied!
