I actually wrote this poem three months ago but after listening to a current affairs phone-in programme it seems even more relevant today. Perhaps I should re-publish every three months until the election.
Not
up to me
General
election next year,
but
there’s no point in voting,
my
opinion is without value I fear,
I’ll
see the result in the morning.
I
don’t like what has happened to my country,
under
the current oppressive thumb,
but
if I vote for the other party,
in
this constituency they’ve never won.
I
wish there was a better way,
a
system that gives a more balanced outcome,
but
I’ll probably never see the day,
when
our decision sheds elitism,
and
is representative of lots of views,
rather
than the divisive two party rule.
Still
they aren’t interested in my muse,
so
I’ll stay home and keep my cool.
