Same Old

The grey faces have it all;
Anger, resentment, despair,
That tiredness of spirit which
Comes with daily strife and
No change nor happiness in
Sight, an ever-shrinking income
When other seem so much better
Off. This sentiment is mirrored
By mournful politicians with no
Obviously obvious new ideas,
Stiff suits plying the same groove
With no apparent attempt to
Think outside the norm, risk
Averse in the extreme, when what
Is needed is dramatic and quick
Extraordinary change for the
Common good.
