Good Government

All the worst impulses of Man:
his laziness, his greed,
his envy, want, the worst he can
and will do to succeed.

All those are given, there's no use
pretending otherwise.
Not a throw up your hands excuse:
a word, though, to the wise

Design a government that will
align, not with a wish
but with reality. The swill,
always a tasty dish.

Incentivize to common sense
and pay for it, hard cash.
The dollar -- it's made up of cents,
and always...clean the trash.
