Politicians Poem by simbarashe moyo

They are all the same
Good with words, but good for nothing
They make promises they never keep
They make a living out of their lies
They know how to say things
But they don’t know how to do them

They are great orators
And people believe their lies
They humble themselves when they seek the peoples’ support
But disappear into thin air as soon as they win

They turn people against each other
Brother against brother and sister against sister
People kill each other and the innocent are tortured
While they drink coffee in their offices

A lot of kids sleep in the streets
With no food or shelter
The cost of living increases every hour
But the salaries don’t change
Crime rate increases and the police get killed
But they don’t care

They don’t have the people at heart
Neither do they have the country at heart
By they do have their families at heart
Everyone suffers so that one family benefits
And they call it democracy, equal rights and justice for all.
