Red Flag Issues: John Key Ignores? Poem by Terence George Craddock

what can you expect
when your country elects
an egg for a leader?
The biggest agenda item
on Key's mind is not
the urgent rebuilding
of devastated Christchurch
after the earthquakes

no money for that;
not Auckland housing crisis
which Key believes
does not exist
not recession or poverty;
no it is changing a flag?

Why? Apparently the fragile
Key super ego cannot tolerate
sitting with the wrong flag
behind him. Tell him to live in
a student house in Dunedin
or one of the damp draft
infested poverty kiwi homes
this interview is when Key was

sober not playing schoolyard bully
his 6 to 8 months refusing
to stop pulling a waitresses
ponytail scandal public revealed;
then blaming his spouse wife
we got John Key Pony-Tail-Gate

red flags black flags
but no acceptable leadership
oh yes we are all supposed
'to be brave get a spine' as Key sad
raving in Parliament support
sending Kiwi Troops to train
future soldiers to fight
in messy Syria conflict?

Some support peace
at home peace
in the world not
war political escalation.
Any of this seem like
good leadership to you?

Remember the moral point
the Key priority is not
housing the economy
the poor; it is wasting
13 to 17 million tax payer
dollars on promoting a new flag;
because Key's eggshell ego can't
sit behind an Australian flag.

Promoting a new flag
was not kiwi public priority
John Key shock disappointed
new flag was public rejected!
