Politician Perdition

POLITICIAN PERDITION

Do you find yourself analytical
When it comes to things political
Corpulent men in suits and ties
Cheat with promises and lies

With true intent we go to vote
To make choice of ass or goat
Labor, Nationals, Libs and Greens
Strut their stuff like Kings and Queens

Have you met an honest Pollie?
Show me one - I'll shout: By Gollie!
With their hands deep in our pockets
They send taxes up like rockets

The grass withers and crops die
For feed and water creatures cry
While there's water up on Mars 
And in ‘swamp’s’ well plenished bars!

Trump - outsider - stands his ground
Trait in Pollies seldom found
He treats leaders, lords and Kings
Marionettes dangling on strings.

Never TelePrompt refined
Opens up and speaks his mind
Straight from heart and off the cuff
Uncut diamond in the rough

Mock his lack of history pure
Never going to be demure
He hits back at thrown insults
I care more for his results
 
 So let’s give an admonition
To bog dwelling politicians
‘Had enough to fill your cup
Drink it down! Your time is up!’

Hi Geoffrey. Well, I see you like to write political poems too. And, though I may not agree 'cause I'd rather have a goat than an ass like Trump, I do think you've written a fine poem here.
