National Preying Upon Sick Children Poem by Terence George Craddock

remember national party bid burying votes
to comfort win with last election promises
because vote outcome indicated losing seats

national strategy preying upon worried parents

who could not afford to pay for doctors visits
for their fever sick children or to buy medicines
national targeted heart strings anxious parents

'One of National's big campaign promises
last year was for free (bait) doctors visits...
prescriptions for all children under-13' Key's

preying upon poor lying through his teeth wins
votes as johnny boy calculated wins parliament seats
but nation party has broken plea passion promise

dirty politics national ditched honour campaign promises?
revelation it is revealed 1 in 10 injured children will miss
out! next election remember national lies big burying votes

believe 'Free doctors' visits for all under-13s'?
no john key hate spending on poverty needs
just another national promise that never flies

to champagne corks popping spend bubbles
on rich boy races America's Cup dream boats
tax payer dollars taken from hungry mouths

Key wants ego 13 million to waste changing NZ flags
PM decrees tax cuts for glutton wealthy says it growth fosters
alas for kiwi children in poverty Key broken promises

for super rich insulated elite there are no recessions

2013 share market rose 25% no capital gain taxes
during kiwi recession worshipped filthy rich listers
enjoy 20% wealth increases paid at necessary costs

unemployment eroded wages runt worker job losses
missing keys ethics morality equals increasing suicides
500 New Zealanders each year will kill themselves

50% of New Zealanders cannot afford dentists
poor women will be driven to prostitution streets
89,000 will live in snorkel house leaky homes

poor children will depend on schools for lunches
but poor children will not get promised free doctors
meanwhile John Key promotes ANZAC parades

national is busy spending free under under-13s budgets
to drum up support for sending New Zealand soldiers
to war and upon war national will spend mega dollars

much more than on New Zealand poor discarded souls
