Will George Poet Politics only for politicians

Politics, only for politicians.

Politics is only a game!

Competitors vie for title and position.

Flare is the style of presentation,

the most eye and vote catching.

Gullibility and culpability are prominent supporters.

Verbosity is made to be appealing

to those who lack clarity of diction.

One must wonder under what guise

would the wolf slip into sheep’s clothing?

Many dollars are spent:

They are not the only currency.

Favours are bandied, bought and traded;

there is no tax on any of these.

Books are kept and the action recorded.

Many insolvent are soon the most profitable.

Profit extended to the most fortunate party,

the reward of the confidence of the voter

naive enough to expect a share!

Benevolence is not a collective idea.

It is the awakening of one individual

who is willing and able to control the power.

There are few who can be so direct.

Leaders are entrusted with stewardship;

few of them have heard and understood.

What opportunities are missed by such lacking!

The will of one dominates for the wrong reason;

the more the pity that alternatives are diminished.

Ineptness would suitably label many.

Inadequate the performance given.

Those who take seats do not earn them:

they have confounded the few who elect.

That may be the pity of it all,

there are so few who have influence.

Who can make the difference?

The question is asked...

“Would you want them to say, It failed all because of you?”
