A Plague On Both Your Houses.

A bicameral system?

A plague on both your houses

Canberra has become such

A nest of vipers

That no one leader

Can break free of the morass

Of social media commentary

And make decisions

In the best interest of this country

So we live with knee-jerk policy

And sound-bite diplomacy

While real people lose everything

All turned to ash

And real businesses fail

Suffocated by lack of cash

Future fund and Budget Surplus

Not withstanding

The people of this country

Are demanding

A political system ready to rise

To the challenges

Of Global Warming and Corona Virus

Instead of this paralysed

Top-heavy bureaucracy

Invested in self-interest

And maintaining power

The clock is ticking

Second by second

Hour by hour

While you white-ant each other

Wait for a new leader to be named

Time wasted cannot be regained

A plague on both your houses
