When will the prime minister resign?

Why do politicians have no shame
Resigning is the last thing on their minds
Someone else will have to take the blame

Oh,Theresa May has lived up to  her name
Caught us all up in a double bind
Why do politicians have no shame?

I guess she ‘ll  win some double edged  fame
While the  limping  lean  too heavily,unkind
Someone else will have to take the blame

Yet here we reach the very end of games
Unreachable in Amazon’ s decline
Why do politicians have no shame?

Democracy is running out of time
When will the prime minister resign?
You or I , who next will take the blame?

All these machinations are a crime
Racism, stabbings shootings, up they climb
Why do politicians have no shame
Some outcast group will  suffer and be blamed.

 

 

It comes and goes like waves do on the beach

I wonder how I’d feel  from day to day
If I knew not prime numbers and their play
If I’d never heard of “e”  and “pi”
And still believed  that God lived in the sky

Even though I’ve not  done maths for years
I fall into  brown studies next to squares
Ellipses please me  with their enclosed space
Sequential numbers  tilt my mind to  grace.

Calculus is nonsense in its way
Where nothing re-appears to  our dismay
It comes and goes like waves do on the beach
Where men would stand up on a box to preach.

Ah,shall I never know my other life
Where to the grace of words I  would be wife?
