In Their Quest For Power Poem by Francis Duggan

In their quest for power and political renown
Opposing political party members in parliament verbally run each other down
The government and the opposition members about each other do not have any nice things to say
For the sake of power this is the political way
Though to their higher selves some of them not true
Not all politicians untrustworthy for to give them their due
For their egotistical ways many politicians are known
They are one might say in a league of their own
Many pre-election promises post election day they do break
But then of course promises are always easy to make
Some politicians it does seem flatter to deceive
And bigger fool you if their words you believe
Though some of them in their ways known to be just
Politicians on a whole you should not take on trust.
