THE COMMISSION IN LUNACY



They formed a commission of inquiry
But it was a commission in lunacy
Their acts shrouded in infamy
A people governed by tyranny
Pushed by their greed and vanity

They claimed to have the people’s best interests
But were quick to bargain for their interests
And asked, in their tummies we invest
Lest they too decide to protest
So for every penny they had an inquest

They vexed the people with their greed
Their every action for justice, they would impede
Pushing the people beyond the brink
Fueling a rage only madness would breed
And the people moved with speed

The commission was broken instantly
The doctors said they were beyond insanity
Then they were strung up for inhumanity
Giving the vicious cycle continuity
