The road to success is paved with cash.
Numbers add up with each step.
Roads are blown to dust
when there is no money to keep them up.
Campaigns are long roads in America.
The longer the road, the higher the cost.
Those who run races along America’s roadways
are not so fleet-footed as they appear.
Their feet often slide on cash piled too high.
Their feet often slow on cash piled too low.
Whenever you wonder “why”, follow the money,
its ebb and flow, its surrogate paths
to hide those in the know.
Senators and Congressmen cannot always follow
the path of a lead runner when the cash is low.
They find new paths where money will cushion
a challenging and uphill election or re-election.
Still wondering “why?” And who decides?
Ask the right questions. Swallow your pride.
Then you will know. You are along for a ride.
