We bemoan the poor standards of pollies
And saintly types don't always work
For all have clay feet till proved otherwise
There are flaws in us all that do lurk
Ideally our leaders should be models
And perfect in every way
But leaders just mirror society
So don't hold your breath, I do say
Don Matthews May 2018
I set myself a challenge Hannah to convert a newspaper article into a rhyme poem. Most of the lines belong to the journalist which I thought were so good and meaningful I wanted to incorporate them in a poem to think about. I was happy with the result. Glad you liked it.

Yes, leaders always seem to fail us.
They often seem out of touch and as you say, have feet of clay.

Thank You Poet
Didn't think you'd be wanted to be name-checked as an imperfect mentor. Fear not, more lining up.

Very true Don.
And by the way, I'm gutted not to get a name check!
