Constellated stars of reale politique
admire their reflections in apparatchiks eyes
deference once only shown to Czars.
Chauffeur driven ministerial cars
alight at entrances to marbled lobbies
security men handpicked by their sides
screen them from public antagonism.
Dispensing largesse to their affluent friends
Extravagant parties, luxuriant homes
Is this the impetus that led them to power
Or has office turned their ideals sour?
