Above politics
We are all part of the political landscape,
And from that there is no escape,
Even if on the moonscape.
We do however have the power to change that landscape,
If we do not bow and scrape,
But instead vote for those in better shape,
To rearrange the streetscape.
Maybe now it is time to come out from behind the cloudscape
For a better view of the streetscape,
And get out your trowel to scrape,
Til you see yourself in the landscape,
From which there is no escape,
But in which we all play a part in how to reshape,
If we want our children to be in better shape,
Than those of us who only stand and gape,
From above the political landscape.
