Can I use periods in place of commas in this statement? I really want to emphasize "one person, me, nobody cares" so I used periods. Is that allowed? If not please help me rewrite it.
They say government is supposed to work for the people but yet when it comes to working in it's purest form. Government serving it's most basic function. One person. Me. Nobody cares.

They say government is supposed to work for the people; yet when it comes to working in its purest form, serving it's most basic function: One person. Me. Nobody else.

But I still wouldn't say that that's perfectly fluent. Some context is lacking.
@FBM,
Fbm I concede yours better than mine
Has nobody spotted the problem here? Some have repeated it.

@dalehileman,
I think most have addressed the questions as asked, rather than a general editing.
