Transparency

As the mist of Westminster clear away
We find out what they earn in pay.
Does this improve Government
When all the money has been spent?

Can we trust this new found creed
When everything is based on greed?
Are politicians open and honest,
Do they really do their best?

Is this change, or all just spin
Is this why we voted them in?
Will these questions now be answered
or has the truth been cruelly ransomed?

Will there now be clarity and precision?
Or hidden in political decision?
Does this mean we trust the coalition?
Or does this end with contradiction.

Time will tell, if we allow it
Is openness to their credit
I wish they’d told us before the election,
The cost they’ll cause now they got in.

Why couldn’t they have revealed the agenda
Before they started the propaganda
Transparency now let’s be clear
Is going to cost all of us dear.


This was a response to the new coalition , and its promise to be transparent
