over-due

"to primary"'s the hot verb of the day
where citizens dare challenge the machine
where cats wax fat exploiting pay-to-play
the bold suggest it's better to run lean
alone on stage, incumbents preen like stars
divorced from how the little people live
uncaring what they think the issues are
unless they have a million bucks to give
for Jefferson, it's always time to bleed
no revolution lasts more than its age
but once in office, that's too grim to heed
so those in power disregard our sage
insiders loom too powerful by far
the People cry out for an FDR
