Poetry – We Expect

We Expect

We expect our leaders

                To take us

                                To where we want to go.

We expect the truth

                To lead us

                                To what we already know.

We are deceived

                By the vagaries

                                Of the flow.

Our leaders always let us down. They have their own agendas. Good at getting elected but they don’t care. It’s called politics.

We rarely listen to the other side. We are set in our own views. We just want our views confirming.

We latch on to a point of view and go with it regardless. We attach to leaders, parties and ideas and are reluctant to let them go.
