This Does Seem A Joke

Referred to in the media as the honorable this does seem a joke
As the flames of division they only does stoke
Such cynical mind games with each other they do play
So few of them are honorable in any way
The honorable politicians to say in the few
And this is not saying anything that is new
The majority of them legislate for the wealthy and ignore those in poverty
And are tough on those on welfare and are anti every boat refugee
The voices for the majority in parliament you will find
And not many there who are compassionate and kind
Many boat refugees on offshore islands spend years of their time
Yet to want better and safer lives is their only crime
When i hear politicians being referred to as the honorable members i feel like laughing out loud
The majority of them seem egotistical and uncaring and have nothing of which to feel proud
In the House of the Federal Parliament among the members the compassionate are rare
Though referred to as the honorable they are cruel to the stateless and are mean to those on welfare
And though they are looked up to by many and held in high esteem
The majority of them seem cruel in their thinking and in truth they are what they seem.
