Frustration

[Sheesh!]

We are constantly bewildered
by the contradictions
we are fed..... by the pollies
..... and the media
We want them to tell us the truth
but we're so confused by the constant lies
that we don't know when we are being told truth

We're powerless to make a change
so we live in constant frustration.
Our children disconnect....
We disconnect....
How can we escape from this maze? 

The big players are blinded
by their addiction to power....
Re-election.... market share..... polls
All are fantasies designed
to keep us confused
while they play their games
to keep themselves in power. 

Shame on them..... Shame
The planet is suffering from their game
... and we poor plebs
shudder in horror at their thoughtless depravity
As Nero fiddled while Rome burned
so they fiddle with their egos
while the world turns.
Damn you pollies!  Wake up... please....
before your arrogance dooms us all.
