Hypocrites Poem by Francis Duggan

Before sitting in Parliament they sing hymns of praise
The sheer hypocrisy of them never ceases to amaze
One might say of them they flatter to deceive
And they are referred to as 'The Honorable' that would you believe.

To their personalities the smirks on their faces is a give away
I find it hard to believe in anything they say
For them I do not have much respect for to pay
Together they lie and together they pray.

In a so called wealthy Nation where many live in poverty
For every well off person there are surely three
By their policies condemned to live a miserable life
In a first world Nation the have nots are rife.

Before Parliament opening in church they sing hymns to their God
Those who rule for the wealthy but not the downtrod
And if they are our Government what of us does this say
Let the poor help themselves we ourselves doing okay.
