Socialist Stanza No. 11
Going Through the Motions
Face to face
across The Commons
MPs snarl
and point fingers.
But, is
party rivalry real
Or
posturing? Doubt lingers.
Principles
are quite flexible,
Need to say
what’s expected,
Even sound
quite radical if
It helps
getting elected.
“I want to
make a difference!”
Or so the
candidates claim:
Yet, whoever
garners the votes,
Most things
stay largely the same.
LibDem!
Labour! Conservative!
No matter which
of them win,
A change of
party maybe, but
The government
still gets in.
D. A.
