Before the General Election

A PARTY POLITICAL SHAM

They are the appointed.
Studio calm, hair dressed,
powdered dusted faces look
the camera in the eye
and prepares to lie.

From Andrew Marr
to Andrew Neil
on Sunday mornings,
on week-days, shows
politics is the lying game.

There appears to be no shame
in avoiding the question.
You can see Mr Neil
go red in the face
as one more politician

opts for their own rhetoric,
let toes wiggle behind
the party line. They stick
to the words that fill
the air spaces.

"Absolutely,"
"Let me be clear"
means 'absolutely' nothing
to me and yet
the honorable members

deems not to answer
any question. 'Yes' or 'No'
has to be avoided.
Prevaricate they do.
It's the name of

their misleading game
of party political shame.
