180. Why do we tolerate their slacking?

I have no idea who wrote these lines, but we all fully agree.

 

So read the poem “A Politician” - 

 

It is definitely not just me

Who finds these people lacking

In spine, morals, sincerity;

Why do we tolerate their slacking?

 

Behaviour we should abhor

Due to its outrageous hypocrisy,

Yet these people represent us

In what we call our democracy. 

 

Our voice must be much louder

To gain some true control

Over the ducking and diving

Politicians have taken as their role.
