Democracy

Democracy The politicians have no common sense Collect their pay and sit on the fence They don’t benefit me or you Tell me now, what do they do? All they say is a brand-new lie They won’t feed you, but watch you die They get everything they need for free Nothing left for you and me And I wonder if we vote again What will we receive? Democracy is a cross from my pen But I don’t believe We don’t want war Or climate change any more. I watch the people in Trafalgar square White robes and long black hair A foreign flag whips in the wind Stoned to death because we sinned. We fight for the rights in a foreign land But for us there’s nothing planned Their hairbrained schemes will never work No wonder people go berserk. David Cox 15/07/24
