It's easier to tell people what they want to hear
than to hurt and maim with the truth
not wanting to deliver the blow and the fear
providing evidence and the inevitable proof
Some people seek it for attention
confirmation they're shunned and abused
just always there, on vacation
as everyone around them, is used
Playing the game passive and angry
flashing eyes that lie, with a smile
all at the same time, pure lazy
a lack of panache and/or of style
It's a no win scenario
day in and all day out
watching them scheme
as always the innocent victim
un-pious and falsely
devout

I’m the politician you elected, you put me here.
And the amount of power you gave me
is something you should fear
I shall now stand around in a high-viz vest
Because ignoring every current crisis
Is what I do best.
I could explain why there’s a hole in the ground where a new
children's hospital should be
Or why the country’s no closer to plastic free.
I could explain why all the houses I promised are late,
But instead I think I'll just boast about
How I single handedly defeated the 8th
I'll take every opportunity to stand above my peers.
I'll stare into the face of my victims
Smile, ignore their tears.
Maybe if I'd experienced this, I'd feel more empathy,
But I've modelled my conscience
After Stormont; empty.
Because I am not homeless or a refugee
I'm just the politician you elected,
With no progress for you to see.
