They Believe Their Own Lies Poem by Francis Duggan

On the statements most politicians do make i can only feel doubt
I can only ask myself what are they on about
The truth from the voters they are good to disguise
They do literally pull the wool over our eyes
One lie with them to more of the same does give rise
They have me convinced they believe their own lies
Quite callous in their words to their political opponents and sadly lacking in ruth
And they simply do not know how to tell the truth
'Tis said in life we warrant what is only our due
And that our parliamentarians are our reflective mirrors may well be true
They surely do suffer of spiritual poverty
To lie to most politicians is easy as easy as can be
They lie to cling to power their statements one cannot believe
Most politicians do surely know how to deceive.
