Written before the 2013 election
We will:
stop the news
about the boats.
Praise the rich.
Blame poor folks.
We will:
scrap the tax.
Ignore the facts.
Wield the axe.
Build a carbon sink
to fool all those
who try to think.
Deny climate change
and drink the Grange.
We will:
act with haste
to stop the waste.
Work with fools
to close the schools.
Dredge the reef
export the coal.
Slash foreign aid
and sell our soul.
Sanitise the message.
Pacify the outrage.
Glorify our verbiage.
