DESERVE

DESERVE

A dream of power

A dream of wealth

Frightening insight

Of a nation’s health

Where devious minds

Succeed by stealth

You get the dream that you deserve

You get the dream that you deserve

Knockout blows

Knock them all aside

Before the fall

Blow up with pride

Kick the walls down

Ride the wild ride

You get the candidates you deserve

You get the candidates you deserve

Afterwards what then?

After - the one true test

Convince yourselves

You’re still the best

Put your needs first

And stuff the rest

You get the president you deserve

You get the president you deserve

A dream so hollow

A dream so shallow

Built on arid fields

Which should be fallow

Whispered in the ears

Of minds too callow

You get the apocalypse you deserve

You get the apocalypse you deserve

Martin A W Holmes, Sept 2016
