Loosely Bandied About

Like a tennis ball

In a pre-game warmup

Making contact yet

Sent hitherto,

Pointless as it were

A simple word

As an adjective

Vague

As a noun

Always negative

With bogeyman

Repercussions

Never found on

A tax return

Under occupation

Or resume

For position sought

It is not something

Anyone would call

Themselves

Or “their” behavior

Here it is

 

.

Criminal

 

.
A label between

Temporary and permanent

A momentary

Malevolent moniker

Oddly enough

Finding its way

Upon the lawmakers

Themselves

How ironic

Being charged with

Penalties

Perjury

Violations

Ethic violations

Fraud

Tax fraud

Corruption

Bribery

Collusion

Conspiracy

The ones deciding

What laws to pass

To keep society in line

How’s about

Leading by example

Not

Do as I legislate

Not as I do

Forget about that

It is all for show

For what might land

You or I in jail

They get a slap

on the wrist or “fined”

Paid for with

Other people’s money

Can you say

Dipping into

Campaign funds

No wonder

The weak seek

Power
