I am not a politician
but I know
when people wear dark glasses
they see the world darkly
some politicians want
the rich to get richer and the poor poorer
call it 'the market'
they may think
That is the fundamental basis of welfare
that is why I am not a politician
**
bad politicians
can kill the spirit of
Tolerance,
Integrity and diversity
they call themselves
patriots
**
when poverty exists
services corrupt
and the homeless increase
modernity turns back to
the Middle Ages
then the people destitute without rights
and they complain
but they don't know
where the exact problem comes from
Bad politicians also practice graft and corruption which will lead to moral degradation and poverty.
I like the opening lines on how the brilliant Poet has described a bad politician. Yes, the term' general welfare' is not in their agenda instead they are into power to accumulate wealth.
Poverty can send the whole world back to dark and barbaric ages. Great poem
