Today's word is "realpolitik" ... Rey-AHL-poh-li-teek ...political realism or practical politics, especially policy based on power rather than on ideals. (Dictionary.com)
False
You don't have to watch the news all day,
To realize that what they say,
About the bosses running things,
Is scratching surface renderings.
They're talking and they're shaking hands,
And it looks as if they're taking stands
Pure and faultless, yet we know,
Realpolitik's what's behind the show.
If integrity ever showed it's face,
Among those who choose to race,
The people would reject it sure,
As no real or certain cure.
