Poetry – Bribes and Lies
Posted on by Opher
Bribes and Lies
Bribes and lies,
Hype and bravado,
More Bosch
Than they’ve got in the Prado.
Divided in hate,
Stoking the fire,
Populist tyrant
Thrown in the mire.
Democracy ditched
In a torrid coup
As Cummings’ thugs
Dissolve the glue.
General election
Or Brexit extension
As austerity crisis
Gets hardly a mention.
They think we’ll forget
The savage Tory cuts
As they sink the economy
And the country shuts.

How do the Tories manage to persuade a substantial segment of the population to vote for them when they manifestly do not represent the interests of those people? Do they think everyone forgets the years when they have hammered both the poor and public services while giving tax cuts to the wealthy?
Destroying the country for their greed!
And we elect them!!
