Deceitful Government Leaders Poem by Francis Duggan

Why disrespect those we see as different and why call them out of name
For the unrest in the World today no one side is to blame
It was a wise one who first said two wrongs never make a right
Most people with real power in the World are lacking on insight
The problems in the World today are not caused by the wise
But by those who use fear to cling to power those with the gift of lies
From deceitful Government leaders the truth we never hear
They tell us who we ought to trust and they tell us who to fear
They use their fear card to cling to power with success one can say
A sad reflection on human kind when deception is seen to pay
To their advantage they bend the truth our phobias they feed
They are not wise for wise people by good example lead
They do not know how to unite they know how to divide
And we believe them when they say they have God on their side.
