All I see are two ageing power hungry men squabbling for the lion's share <br />And who will win Howard or Beazley? don't ask me I don't care <br />The Labor party and the Coalition seem very much the same to me <br />As neither of them have once promised for to combat poverty. <br /> <br />For the growing scourge of poverty they don't offer any cure <br />But then suppose not many votes in the favouring of the poor <br />And not many of the Homeless vote when it comes to polling day <br />But who could blame them for their apathy when they must live in such a way. <br /> <br />When I hear talk of budget surpluses by the major party politicians I feel cause for concern <br />For who will keep the budget in the black ought not be hard to discern <br />It's the working poor and the very poor who always suffer the most <br />And because of neglect for them the Government of their budget surplus boast. <br /> <br />Who will win the Federal Election that won't be worrying me <br />For whoever forms Government won't be combating poverty <br />They squabble for the lion's share and seek their own renown <br />And they only Govern for those at the top end of the Town.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/australian-federal-election-2001/
