Governments

If I was God
I would be angry with the Government
you fight and you bicker
and you get nothing done

Look at England 
trying to get out of a contract
you want your leaders to be effective
they create plans

but then you argue and fight
you sound like, little school boy's 
arguing over which chocolate 
they should have

More companies shut down
because you can't make a decision
you need to become adults 
stop keeping so many stupid secrets

start having genuine debates
stop grandstanding
who cares what other people 
think about you

Say what you think 
and maybe we'll get somewhere 
roads are becoming congested
with cars

perhaps you should try
getting people to swop jobs
people with the same skills 
travel from one side of a city

to the other, 
if the swop jobs  
with a similarly  skilled 
they save hours for their family

You take cars off the road
that don't need to be traveling
perhaps then you could make zoning laws
so that people could get a job close to home

Granted we don't want to take away 
the freedom of choice
we don't want people to lose benefits
we don't want people 

forced into jobs they don't like
so we have to think 
about all the consequences 
the labor party in Australia

Assisted people 
start companies insulating houses 
people had houses burn down
we need companies for economies

but we also need health and safety
to look at the consequences of our actions
Labour is left national is right

so if you vote national 
you vote for the rich man's party
if you vote labour you vote for the worker
what we need is a government

that looks at the whole picture 
and care for the whole country
You need to ask what can I do
to really overcome our problems 

Is the internet 
destroying Australian jobs
is the internets a technology
that our economy can't afford

perhaps you could change tariffs
increasing the cost of internet products
forcing people to buy products from the stores
how many companies go bust before you take action 

Granted Governments can't run companies
because you're too willing to use tax money
to prop them up
you need to look at the international stage

What happens in one country affects others
stop allowing people to invade other people
Africa has been invaded by so many countries
people came being nice trading with the people

then they taught the religions
once people believed them they had followers
they turned against them creating wars
now we have refugees fleeing from the wars
creating problems
