As Most Politicians Poem by Francis Duggan

As most politicians do lie with a straight face
In politics trust never takes pride of place
And among political parties the main enemies in the ranks of their own
For loyalty to party colleagues most politicians have never been known
Many politicians give their profession a very bad name
With them lying and mistrust are one of the same
They lie to each other and to the voters as well
To many politicians a blatant lie is not hard to tell
Obsessed with their own egos for power they do compete
With some politicians it is a way of life the practice of deceit
The newest weapon they use to stay in power is the verbal tool of fear
Of terrorism and the threat of it from them we often hear
To their advantage they spread xenophobia by creating us against they
Most of these shifty characters who have political power in the world of today.
