I am indignant



I am indignant

With the stench of politics

What have we done wrong?

 

A flabby excuse

A scandal that’s now hushed up

Must it be like this?

 

Why must the country

Be run by incompetents

Just lining their nests?

 

Where are the statesmen

The politicians with a cause

In whom we can trust?

 

Has spring arrived yet?

I long for the winds of change

Not a bleak winter

  1. I am indignant too!! This just about describes very aptly the state of affairs here!! The 'statesman' is a long forgotten person and 'trust' is an alien word. 'Lining nests' is a national pastime. We are waiting for 2014!! There is truth in every word that you have said here today!!

  5. I despair of seeing a politician who is both honest and effective in my lifetime, but I suppose it could happen, just like fairies and unicorns could show up in my back yard. Not holding my breath, though.
