Bubble

 

[Bubble]

 

Politicians. What more can we say?

Making it up till election day

keeping to a script inside their bubbles.

 

Climate? Confinement! Banning!

Cannot see the planet for the planning -

poll-driven pollies inside policy bubbles.

 

Kiss the baby and give the head a pat

Anthony Elbowgrease and Peter Doormat.

No trouble inside their bubbles.

 

Is it all soap opera and media spin

or just hot air and suds, ever so thin

confecting this show of permanent bubbles?

 

Scientists with their Warnings and Hubble,

doctors stepping through bombed-out rubble

need not detain those inside of bubbles.

 

Even the round world’s imagined corners

are but statistics to a mob of scorners

depending for life on this one space bubble.

 

Politicians. What more can they say?

Forever blowing bubbles night and day,

little bubbles in the air. Bubbles.
