GLIB

Politicians and war-mongers
sit and chat ~
their superficial care and concern
lie dormant
while they pass the hat ~
for dollars to help them
win the election –
they don’t worry about
finding sincere perfection
with which to rule us
lowly persons ~
their constituency
(that’s you and me)….
They sit and chat
and sip from cut glass
while some lowly person
cuts their grass;
and our sons and daughters
are across the sea,
while the waiter brings
them booze or tea…
Some are against abortion
some are for Women’s’ Lib;
and all of them seem
to me to be somewhat
insincere and glib.
