No Need To Vote... Poem by James Bredin

So there’s no need to vote though they say that this freedom is great,
No political changes needed and please, no need for this debate,
Human nature is such in that we are easily led,
By religion, nationality or political party we’re wed.

We need compulsory voting and death with dignity soon,
Stuff not mentioned in the ongoing Senate scandal scene,
Because somehow or other they can sweep this under the rug,
As if it never existed and all we can get is a shrug.

So sit quietly at your computer and read this awful stuff,
Then you can just as quietly and discreetly, walk away in a huff,
Because this is the way it is, it was and will be,
We have to wait for someone to change things as we wait to see.
