A Poem about Political Power

Real Politik a policy of the past,

men who wield great power,

and hide out of the light.

Policy, process, justice,

all formed under their hand.

Today it’s all so different,

fortune, greed and fame,

celebrity in politics,

is the aim of the game.

No one in the centre,

all over on left or right,

leaving the world open,

to a politically influenced fight.

Stability and teamwork,

thats what the world needs,

cool heads and wise people,

to pick us up off our knee’s.

In these global times of struggle,

we need another way,

not more celebrity gamesmanship,

instead a clear path to a brighter day…
