For John Howard Poem by Francis Duggan

For John Howard the master of the politics of fear
Judgement time for him and his Government is again drawing near
But the one who involved Australia in Iraq
On his huge Government pension he can afford to sit back
That is if he loses the Election and enjoy the good life
With his upper class mates and Janette his good wife
But who wins or loses the Federal Election i don't really much care
As life will not change for me i am all too aware
If Labor's Kevin Rudd to dethrone Howard Succeed
And his party to power from the political wilderness lead
The poor of Australia need not celebrate
As conservative Kevin is not known to be the paupers mate
And as for cunning Johnny he will be okay
He will never go hungry or have to live it in the hard way.
