Corridors of Power
Shadows in dark corners, silhouetted figures
Floating down corridors of protected power,
Sanctuary for schemers and hungry vultures
Circling impoverished prey for them to devour,
grey suits that compliments their complexion
Their dark thoughts, intentions flow through their head
egoistical aims to promote re-election
to Westminster palace, blue,yellow green or red,
Political Party machines turn, produce laws
by invisible people in air conditioned
Rooms, payed for by my hard work and yours
For them to squander on favoured requisitioned,
Pacts and treaties sort on sports grounds,
amendments enhance ideological thoughts,
for power, to promote wealth has no bounds
anything in their way, they have high courts,
Power is the game, wealth is their ultimate aim,
to rule by fear, threats, to impoverish people,
World Politics are played, their goal exact same,
Why do we allow them to be so deceitful?
