Party Smartie Pants

There’s a tang of impropriety
played out in our society
as politicians nonchalantly tramp

Dipping fingers without conscience
strutting appetites and penchants
paying duty to a hazy foreign camp

Apathetically so many folk
who mope elections are a joke
as integrity becomes a flight of fancy

When our leaders swagger blissful
at their congress waxing wistful
plainly no idea what’s really going on

  2. I noticed with interest that an advertisement for cheap air fares pops up alongside this poem.

  3. It was probably the 'Flight of fancy' reference. I find it all quite exile-erating. That's if I don't end up in the 'Bloody Tower'. Mind you, that'll be me and a few polliticians.
