Our Beloved Politicians

Our Beloved Politicians

These men and women of power
Are the torch bearers of their nations
But locked up in their ivory tower
In solitude test their public’s patience

Roses are red and violets are blue
Of the common man’s needs, they seldom have a clue
Yet rules are passed, laws are made
And people’s trusts regularly betrayed <---------- in reference to the recent savings theft from the Cypriotic banks

Communism, Socialism or Democracy
They’re all deeply mired in hypocrisy
Lofty promises made that are motionless and shy
Like the wind blowing through the willows, noisy but dry

They swear by their eternal ideology
But that’s just fooling our psychology
For their ethics change every hour
Vanishing completely with absolute power
