The Green Politician He sets his face before a photographer and smiles A smile does the job, he was told Posters of him flood the streets, and funny chaps sing his name He turns his mouth into an instrument of music, blowing out Melodies of strange promises which he found amusing that the people end up believing He is a gamer, he must play with the mind of the people Chose me, vote for me, he would sing And act with the meekness of a sheep and the innocence of a lamb And he watches as the people thumb for him, giving him what he desired He takes on his real self- proud, uncaring, crafty He thinks he needs to balance the account, reap what he spent and even more Choice clothes, big houses, exquisite cars, foreign accounts Falsified figures and talks of works being done, surrounded by sycophants The people groan, they grief. They had put a con man on the throne He plays the game as he wants and then towards the beginning of another voting season He unclothes his real self and clads in his drama regalia Time to act again, he muses and deceive these simple minded folks And the people get confused because he came bearing gifts and crying with sympathy And promises to do better. Beware green fellows of green politicians, their gods are their bellies With tools of religion, tribalism and party groups, they deceive again Beware of who and what you thump for It might be your gain or your pain. |
