Of Course Poem by Francis Duggan

Of course 'tis a fallacy pigs cannot see the wind
But the one eyed man rules in the 'Land Of The Blind'
And credulous people are not hard to find
A fool leads the way and they follow behind.

Though they were elected by the majority
The Government rules for the minority
'Tis the same old story we've heard it before
The wealthy get the favours the poor they ignore.

How can one give credit where it is not due
Since few politicians to the higher self true
Between the Government and the Opposition the difference is not great
Take care of ourselves and take care of our mate.

To the underclass as always a fair go is denied
And the gap between the haves and the have nots it keeps growing wide
And many grow poorer for each new millionaire
That's life some might say but life's not always fair.

Of course 'tis a fallacy elephants do not fly
Though the blind they are ruled by the man with one eye
And in the corridors of power corruption is rife
And whilst the poor grow poorer some enjoy the good life.
