From the Socialism or Your Money Back blog
Going through the Motions
Fine promises are all too glibly made
In a conference hall, filled with delegates
Gathered from the political estate,
Where future electoral plans are being laid.
All this nation’s ills are the fault, of course,
Of other parties, but power won’t be lost
With well thought through proposals, fingers crossed:
All delivered with rhetorical force.
The only real obstacle is the cost,
Because money’s always in short supply.
Profits remain sacrosanct, which is why
Though politicians try, markets won’t be bossed.
Conference approves what has been arranged
And then departs; yet nothing will have changed.
D. A.
