Politicians Are People Poem by Francis Duggan

Politicians are people just like you and me
But otherwise we share few things in common is how it seems to be
Since most politicians do not trust each other what of them does this say?
That in general they are not the most trustworthy of people it does seem this way
In the chambers of parliament trust does not abound
Among politicians in general mistrust not hard to be found
Among some members of their own political party powerful politicians have most for to fear
That their positions of power in danger from members of their own party to them abundantly clear
To retain power to them in life the most important thing
To power for as long as they can do they do desperately cling
They are the people we gave power to on election day
And since they represent us what does this of us say
In the chambers of parliament the honorable members are few
But then one can say in this there is not anything new.
