Only In The Few Poem by Francis Duggan

Wise political leaders only in the few
And this is not saying anything that is new
Many politicians to their word are never true
And are not trustworthy for to give them their due
The person you vote for on election day
Says more of the person you are than words can ever say
The government lacking in compassion are voted to power by voters who too are this way
That we get the government we deserve only seems true to say
Due to the greed of the wealthy a fair go to many in life is denied
The gap between the poor and the wealthy has grown ever wide
When government leaders say they are governing for all of the people they are lying through their teeth
They never do govern for the homeless of poverty street
So many politicians only know of how to deceive
They are not the sort that one should trust or believe.
