None so Blind


What is it about mankind, are they too blind to see,
Leaving all logic behind, showing ignorance for free,
 Any social conscience undermined by the dollar sign,
Are we driven by self interest for as long as I'm fine.

Voting with their back pocket, their conservative view,
Ignore your neighbour, if they're no benefit for you,
Politicians are no different, looking after their own,
Thinking they are in power, but it's a privilege on loan,

Unemployed looked down on, treated as a social blight,
Pensioners sadly mistreated, victims of a political smite,
With hidden agendas, misguiding the man on the street,
Australians deserve much better than draconian deceit,

The Liberals are on the nose, and quite deservedly so,
They continue like this, general mistrust will just grow
Quoting Scotsman Robbie Burns, and I have to agree
“There are none so blind as those who will not see”
