politics

by Patrick Watson   Nov 1, 2022




crestal ball on my table
show me the future in my past!
as the news runs down my face
I ask WHY?

the brain is an analytical tool, we must use it!
as another day creeps over my horizon

My beloved country!

Fine lines: white, black, and grey
The spin doctors toolbox
Opinions, the God of knowing nothing for sure!
Logic! lost in the hazy of social media

Politics the numbers game
The last box they tick, is common sense
We are all on fast forward, ‘change’!
Solutions are elusive

Yet here we are, solve or perish
No middle ground, no grey just reality
Here sits I! three full meals a day
Tools and skills at my fingertips, but negated

It’s a strange, strange world for sure!
Little cogs always make big cogs turn
They broke the link
The price of the brain drain
