I'm Not Giving You a Broom!

I waited for you
To make the first move
You were in charge
And did what you do

Looking in my glass house
You saw what you see
I was vulnerable
So you took advantage of me

In the first petition we faux wed
And you created my future course
But, I’ve finally had enough of your scam
Now it’s time for us to faux divorce

You were the one with the masterful plan
And what I really needed didn’t matter
All you wanted was to make your play
So you’d get whatever you were after

Simultaneously,
You put me in the driver’s seat
And handed over the keys
While you got in on the passenger's side
And feigned giving the control to me

Being unlicensed and trusting you
I then took hold of the wheel
Not knowing you were just using me
To get my signature on your lucrative deal

The one where I became an indentured servant
So others could decide my fate
But, eventually I exposed your treachery
And since then I’ve gotten nothing but hate

After once upon a time
Smiling sweetly in my face
So handsome, and oh so grand
YOU, the TOP GUN
The BIG MAN with a plan
Didn’t want to hang your head in disgrace

Lately
You’ve been getting a wee bit upset
And still doing whatever it is you still do
While I’ve made plans to quicken your step
By encouraging you to make your next move

Because you need votes and connections
From one to the other end of the State
Who will enjoy sitting down at your table
Eating your food from off of your plate
And
Together you’ll make merry and laugh
At the joke you made, oh yeah, that’s “me”
Determined to hang on until the end
And to never allow me to go free

As you bask in your hay days
And all the money you made
You’re happy with the respect you achieved
At my expense and others like me too
While we paid your debts
And still want answers from you

But, you underestimate us
And my willingness to strive
When you left me with nothing to lose
After you lied
And cheapened my pride

And now you’re getting angrier
The more doggedly I share
Me, the little mouse
Fat cats no longer scare

BUT,

DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT I CARE?

Why don’t you put your… oops,
OUR money
Where your mouth is
Let’s finally meet together in the courtroom
I’m sure your posse will be there
And the new Judge can decide
Preponderance
Evidentiary documents
And sworn testimony too

Then I’ll show my hand
Politely address you as “Sir”
And mop the floor up with you!!!

Oh, that’s right, I almost forgot
You prefer that we mediate without proof
In a private room where no one can see
So all your bad faith acts will stay buried in history

But I’m not giving you the broom that you need
So you can sweep me
And what you’ve done to everyone
Quietly
Under the rug

Especially since your new plan
Is to avoid a public scandal
In your campaign to be elected his Honor

The reigning JUDGE!!!
