Election Year, Your Chance To Have Your Say Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

The Government has proved to be
corrupt and inefficient.
Prepared to act dishonestly
To everybody’s detriment.

Bar far the favoured few of course.
Who think they are above the law
They cheat and lie without remorse.
In their greed for even more.

Ill gotten gains to salt away
In some tax haven based offshore.
Although they say crime doesn’t pay
It can do if you make the law.

We must defeat them legally.
Expose their crimes to public view
Investigate them thoroughly
And punish them where it is due.

We must restore the old values
The values that our forebears knew.
It’s not a task we can refuse.
What must be done that we will do.

Out with old in with the new.
Elect men of integrity.
Get rid of the dishonest crew.
This is our opportunity.

The systems rotten to the core
And must be scrapped to start anew.
Go back to what we had before
Make honesty the prime virtue.

Don’t give your vote too easily
Think very hard and then decide.
Consider very carefully.
Now is the time to turn the tide.

Erase pork barrel politics.
We must derail the gravy train.
You can’t teach old dogs new tricks.
So throw them out and start again.
