Politicians

Alliterative Politics

Groans and grief and greying out of guarantees,

pouring in of power that puts politicians paramount

as they sort through mail, campaigns and tweets and

still they stick to the stultifying straightjackets of 

policies, proudly pushed past pleading public.

Burdens bearing down the battered poor

as they struggle to stave of sickness, starvation and

Benefits no longer benefitting but boldly break

their hearts harvesting their hopes

creating crises and keeping 

Corrupt crooked cravers of coin

Power protected. Purveyors of poor

driving destruction of dying denizens, with

wicked wiles wanting wads .
