Boo Hoo Politics
(Boo Hoo Politics was Written following the Brexit and Trump
votes as an observation and not a political declaration.
A few years out of date now but perhaps still fresh
Enough to share)
Boo Hoo Politics
What ever happened to fait acomplie?
Election refuted, result cannot be
Decision disputed, outcome denied
Because tis declared, victors had lied
Brexit decided, voters derided,
As one, campaigners, telling of lies did
Money for doctors and hospital beds
Writ large on transporter, O negative red
British men working for more than before
Price under-cutters deserting our shore
Membership ended yet still we shall feed
With commonwealth partners fulfilling our need
'Utopian vision,' remainers refuted
Brexiteers cheated, all claims disputed
See here we are told, beware tragedy
The pound but a penny, the peace, world war three
Cameron standing to steer a path true
Grizzled a little, and then 'Toodle ooh'
And yet sun ascending and darkness relit
No earthquake, tsunami or asteroid hit
Whilst over the pond that we call the Atlantic
Demeanour ecstatic, otherwise frantic
Some celebrating, some have the the hump
Relationships fractured in Clinton v Trump
The Ruskies they fixed it, the FBI mixed it,
Donald denied it and audibly dissed it
The Trump they proclaim will bring nuclear war
As Putin lets slip about this and that whore
So many proclaim as Trump gets the affirmative
Normal ain't working, let's try an alternative
Stating it's timely to try out the new
To fetch bestest buddies from back of the queue
He'll build a big wall and some cars and some trucks
Americans happily earning more bucks
While Mexicans spend all their money on walls
It must be that Trump has dementia... or balls
Security services grudgingly labour
To save their new Boss man from rifle or saber
Rumours abound that he'll run out of luck
Kalashnikov waving, Hey Donald, DUCK!!!
Elections conducted and folk had their say
Ticking a box, the conventional way
Yet, protest, suspicion and discontent linger
Foul, cried before he had lifted a finger
Dissenters refuting the public's decision
Decry all pronouncements and screech their derision
The system now faulty with injustice done
Was never berated when their man won
Not getting one's way is not system broken
If people have voted then people have spoken
So this is the question occurring to me
Whatever happened to fait acomplie?
