Representational task

Representational task

A Poem by Donald Meikle
"

another repost politics is bugging me

"
enter stage left the successful politian
with more moves than a bird chased crow
speaking in glowing terms of limited taxation
with his projective protective representation

I close my eyes to see him standing speaking
to cold Valley Forge's traitorious rebels
oh that every rep and senator be required
to speak on such a bloody pulpit

Three Cheers for King George
The Mad Englishman wants it all and Honestly states it
There are here woods enough to hide in and be free
Rather there than stand and fight for thee
Whoever let you be?

While no fan of Mad King George... I enjoyed the poem. Well written.

Politicians are perhaps the same the world over. We have a situation here where an mp has resigned over a civil liberty issue and is being widely ridiculed. I wait with bated breath and fingers crossed, that he succeeds in re-election to his seat so that a big point will have been made by one small voice. We can but hope eh? I see some of the US election stuff on TV. It confuses the bejeebers out of me but as far as I can see, it's devil and the deep blue sea, just as it is here.
