E go be...

Inspired by the story a friend told me about a politician's daughter complaining about hospitals and poor health Care

Title: E go be! (A poem(or maybe a short story) subtly denigrating political Apathy while pretending to give it reason)

To each his own
Is a philosophy I've always known

Whether I've believed in it or not
Is for me to know, and for you to find out

Truth exists in multiplicity
And life in duplicity

The Rich and the poor

The happy and sour

Did I know this always?
I'm not so sure, anyways

My father you see, an icon he was
And luxury and comfort was all that I saw

A hero he was, a prince of his clime
I wish I had known it was not that sublime

My father you see, was, much to my grief
Regarded by the masses as naught but a thief!

And yet now with passion, I continuously rant
This government! this country! I tire and pant

But do you think I used to speak?

No! Not at all! Well, not before

The passion was born of a future now bleak

For I once thought:

"Money I will have till even three score"

While masses against fuel price hikes
Ferociously strike,

I sit here with friends

Insensitive! Instead of indignant!

ought we not to know, that on us, their future depends?!


Nahhhh! SARS, BAR! CARS!!!!!

What's voting?
When rich men twice my age are on me doting?

And now.....right now

I'm a mother
And this country is starting to my heart bother

My father no longer holds his office
So, my meagre salary will have to suffice

My daughter, my princess!
Will have to life as one of the masses witness......

The only thing constant in life is change...........

One day the pendulum will swing,
Where shallt thou be you haughty thing?
