Politics, Shmolitics!

Inspired by the politics of many people here

I’d like to vent my fifty cents with stuff I’d like to share

The controversial policies that we are subject to

And all the legislation that our leaders let pass through

Are something that has come about because we have a vote

Unfortunately, we gullibly, believe the stuff they quote

Each pre election promise is a promise meant to free

us from those broken promises that were made previously

It’s just a bloody carousel – goes round and round and round

Forever in an endless spin that keeps us off the ground

Without that strong stability of solid leadership

We drift ad hoc through life just like a sad rudderless ship

It is a sad but profound truth that’s very clear to see

Bad leadership’s not exclusive to any one country

You never have to look too far to see a world in pain

A pain that rules our lives and minds inhuman and insane

A pain that robs us of our rights – a universal thief

A political carcinogen from which there’s no relief

Life itself is governed by the science of politics

And unprepared we are to know what’s in its bag of tricks

The bottom line is no one person knows just how to rule

To teach even the basics of good leadership there’s no school

Leaders will come and play their part, make havoc, then be gone

But politics like life itself rolls nonchalantly on.
