The body politic is ill <br /> in urgent need of medicine <br />It seems that M.Ps lack the will <br />to exercise self discipline. <br /> <br />They claim to act within the rules. <br />When they make dishonest claims. <br />Which proves they are short sighted fools. <br />Some say the system is to blame <br /> <br />But I for one do not agree <br /> I think each person has to use <br />The same standards of honesty. <br />The systems open to abuse, <br /> <br />which does not mean they have to cheat <br />Although it’s obvious some do <br />The time has come for a complete <br /> review of rules; long overdue. <br /> <br />Who made the rules? The same M/Ps <br /> who benefit from laxity <br />Who seem to do just as they please <br />and have no fear of penalties <br /> <br />The body politic is sick <br />and it grows sicker every day <br />This is no time for rhetoric <br />we have to act without delay. <br /> <br />Expose the loathsome parasites <br /> who now wax fat in secrecy <br />and curb their greedy appetites. <br />It is the only remedy <br /> <br />The public is entitled to <br />demand an end to secrecy. <br />Insist all claims both old and new <br /> be subject to close scrutiny. <br /> <br />10/05/2009 http; // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-prescribe-a-purgative-a-rant/
