Does anyone care?

Old-world women gossip

Disgorging air and candy floss,

Talking, talking, talking.

Just trumpery coming across,

Irrational chatter

Mindless natter,

Suffrage, forgotten, such a loss.

 

Old-world men jabber

As they prop up the local bar,

Bullshit bullshit bullshit.

Taking ignorance far too far.

Incoherent prattle

Constant cackle.

Franchised rights, or another jar?

 

Politicians shouting

Across the hallowed debating floor,

Gabfest, gabfest, gabfest

Does anyone listen anymore?

Electorate despised

We’re disenfranchised,

Whilst ill-disposed ministers roar.

 

Media hustling

Hurling cliches and platitudes

Babble, babble, babble,

Cradling their own biased attitudes

Tempers wearing thin

Hosts inwardly grin

As they stir up political feuds,

politics

◄ How many?

The mind of a bomber ►

Spot on Russell.

I've often heard it said that "we get the government we deserve".

Unfortunately, having heard over the last decade the lies and hatemongering (https://youtu.be/XmRTViarauc) coming from the politicians and their client so-called "journalists", and now seeing the results of Joe Public having swallowed hook line and sinker, those same lies, I now believe that saying to be true.

Thank you Keith, I agree with you, and the public apathy to decision making feeds their narcissism.

A masterpiece which has my seal of approval. May I add another 25 stanzas? You hit the nail on the head. We have six hundred plus mediocre self seeking halfwits running the nation. Good work if you can get it at £88,000 per annum plus expenses and other part time work. O, I forgot they gave themselves a pay rise back in October of 2.9%, payable immediately. And the likes of us pay all their bills.
A poem which really gets this nonsense off my chest.
Thanks indeed
Keith
