CON - LIB

If you elect Clegg
You will get Brown
Told us Cameron

Lib-Lab said some
Con-Lib is
what we got

Have we been conned?
Depends which camp
You belong

Tactical vote
Anticipated
Got Con-Lib instead

Next time
Will be
Next time

We need
Not tactical
But strategic vote

Careful what
You wish
What you wished
Is what you got

But was it what
You want?

Think deep
Before you make
A wish

You might not
Like it
But what you wish
Is what you get

Change
Was Obama's mantra
Con, Lib & Lab
Borrowed this
Mantra

Change for who?
What kind?
Is Con-Lib
The kind of change
We wanted?

Change
Of politics
New politics
Promised but
Public thinks
The opposite
Was attained
In the national interest
We are told
Tolerate & support
Con-Lib government

Supporters say
'coz of economic
Malaise

Betrayal
Said some
Yet others
Personal interest

While the rest say
The Libs are hungry
For power

That is why
We see them over there
Ditched their policy

The Con-Lib
Who want power & control
Say
We need government
Which is stable

Once in power
Advocates of
New politics

Are contempating
To nominate
A hundred Peers
To help them
Manipulate votes

Is this old
Or new politics?

Time will tell
Whether we
Have been conned
Or not

Time will tell
Whether we have
New or old politics

Change or stable
Government
'coz of national
Interest

Critics say
Is why we got
Con-Lib government

All these high
Sounding terms
Will materialise

Or like rainbow
Beautiful
Sun rise or sun set
Pleases our eyes but
Quickly disappears
Ephemeral

Time
Will come and go
But we will be
Here
Won't let go

Hope the cuts
Will come to an end

Without investment
We will end up
Going to square one
With no
Development

If it is only
Reducing the deficit
The Government
Is doing
Cynics or skeptics
say
Reduction
Without expansion
Is only
Balancing the books
What we need
Is not a Con-Lib
Government
But
Expert bookeepers
Creative accountants
Expertly
Can balance the books

We are told
We are in it together
How come bankers
And the homeless
Belong together?
How about
The unemployed
And
The dispossed
Are they together
With the banker?

Start campaigns
Reduce our support
Or through election
Change the
The Con-Lib coalition
Bring relief
To everyone disillusioned
And
The disenchanted
Who
Voted for the coalition
But
Are now disappointed

Reform of the NHS
Went on enforced recess
Forced
Among other things
Listen to the public
Over private or public
Health care
Health secretary
Enfuriated his supporters
And some GPS
Wants to widely consult
Public says why wait
All these months
To consult the public
On something basic
