Bloody Politics

poem by: Steven Godfrey
Written on Mar 13, 2017

By Steven Godfrey 

The united kingdom is  divided ,  Brexit is in place 
New opportunities and uncertain times is now what we face
I wish we would come together, sadly that's not to be 
Instead we all  argue about what kind of country we wish to see 

Politicians and power they both go hand in hand 
I firmly believe their self gain, goes before the love of our land 
To me it's all about the money and just pure greed 
From fiddling expenses to bribery ,how much  do you need !

There are millions of our citizens with no money in their pockets 
But all we seem interested in is who has the deadliest rockets 
Things have to change , children still starve to death 
Today across the world  , they take their final breath 

But our governments are only interested in sniping at each other 
Fighting , arguing like biblical brothers 
We all know how that ended , we are headed the same way 
Put your hands together and look up,  it's now the time to pray

I think citizens around the world are very disillusioned with their politicians, and you have highlighted the situation so well indeed...very well written.

Politicians are out of control......power is such a stimulant to them...they play with people, as if it was a game of chess!..........another really good poem Stephen...

I awake each morning, four walls are closing in Looking out into the garden , the dew upon the grass The morning fog is lifting , birds chirping , bold as brass There is a chill in the air , autumn trees are going bare Fo... Read more
