It Rained and Rained

Now politicians play word game.
Saying climate change is to blame,
Implying Nature's got it wrong
And that they were right all along.
So these great powers must impress
And claim they can cure the mess.
For they will play the salesman game 
And lie that they are not to blame.

Hello Tony ... politicians, to protect greed, keep stating that they can't see the wood for the trees - thank you Tony - Lindsay

Thanks Lindsay. They only see what they choose to see and never face reality. They have but a short term task and not dig too deep and ask. Tony

As long as the people with workable solutions can not get close to the ear of most politicians not a lot will change. The sad thing is that there is more money for jam in tackling the issue than ignoring it. I like the way tackled this piece. Best regards David in NZ

Many thanks David. Methinks many are in the power game, motivated to do good for their community. They are there to give. Others enter the power game, motivated by self gain. They are there to take. They have no shame. It is the same old game again. Tony
