Politician Coming Thro

First you hear the high pitched ear piercing sirens...
Then a couple of traffic police on high powered motorcycles...

Majestically clearing the heavy traffic with a wave of gloved hands...
Now if it was a medical emergency, you'll rightly understand...

An ambulance coming through, a human life is at stake..
All this you can surely understand, heck! You'll get down and help if you can...

But what is this blaring nonsense, just another 2 bit Napolean full of self importance...
If he's is in such a mighty hurry, why can't he just leave a bit early...

If the average Malaysian can always make it in time despite the many traffic jams...
Just have all those bloody self important politicians join in the jams...

We'll then see if what's good for the goose is good for the gander...
Those bloody politicians, pushing their bulk and weight around...

Don't they realise we the rakyat voted them in, not to bloat their importance...
But to better serve us, the  long suffering rakyat, and help forge a better Malaysia...
