Pressure fissure:

All political correctness
Needs to be evenly supplied
Else it becomes a pooled mess
For special lobbies misapplied

Lawmakers sadly and truly
Are just political zombies
Controlled not by voters duly
But at beck and call of lobbies

At times pressure is so intense
Legislators agonized squeals
Are perceived not as an offense
But partying gains on sweet deals

Can we rescue office bearers?
How can the system be repaired?
Answer is with the protesters
And public support is prepared.

You have broken your prosodic chains which gives us hope we can break our political/ideological ones.

If you felt it this important to break from your usual form then I am truly, deeply touched. I'm not being ironic or sarcastic, I mean that.

Perfect last two lines-
Answer is with the protesters
And public support is prepared.

Through collective action we can even beat the godlike megacorporations.

Thank you for this, my friend.

Truly appreciate your appreciation (the more traditional parts of the praise).
