Like gluttonous pigs-
Engorging at the slop trough-
Oblivious to their impending fate-
Many-

Seeking only instant gratification-
Ignoring the allegory of the spider and the fly-
Continue to court the tar baby-
Becoming content-

Slopping at the trough of state entitlements-
Hopelessly snared in a silken web-
Stuck in the tar of deception-
Happily exchanging for beans-

The birth-right-
Until in the end-
No-one can do for themselves-
Finding to late they have become slaves-

Slaves of the state-
Controlled by career politicians-
Seeking only to broaden their power base-
Securing their positions-

And caring not-
That a way of life-
Purchased with the blood of patriots-
Disappears in the process.
