His Maiden Speech

Just another wealthy and useless Politician in Parliament giving his maiden speech
He seems so full of his own self importance as if he had some knowledge to impart and for to teach
As he sees it to the unenlightened who did not vote for him yet for him to win his opponents had to lose
His silly fellow party members clap him and applaud him so few wise people make the headline news.

He tells the Nation how great a person he is and he brags aloud of his Uni degrees
why do we elect people with big egos their conceit is like a contagious disease
Since others seem to follow their example and boast aloud of how wonderful they are
And their self promotion seems to work well for them in life their bragging seems to take them far.

He talked of big business and financially successful people but nothing of the poor
Which brings me to think that for social ills he does not have a cure
But since he lives in the leafy Suburb want and need he does not see
And for the homeless of the slums he does not feel empathy.

Just another wealthy and useless Politician he is not one of a few
And to life's higher principles he never could be true
To the poverty of the underclass lip service he did not even pay
He only bragged about himself each to their own they say.
