Deceit Poem by Mai Murphy Venn

What has happened to the Irish nation?
And the citizens of the truthfulness that made them
Now there in the Dail, where the truth matters
There is none, truthfulness is a decree of the past

Terms of references have become a waffle word
Our leaders are not to be trusted but feared
We the ordinary folk are repulsed at what we see
We do not want you lot, speaking on our behalf

The culture that you have given us is despicable
You, mighty men in power, you stole our real culture
And strip us bare from of our traditions of truth
Listen to our plea, grant us our request,

Why waste time on debating and yelping out lies
Go to President Higgins's and end this sham government
We need a good and loyal leader to clean up after this
We feel betrayed and let down by you men with flaws words
