In the House

Dr. Qais Ghanem

A poem by Dr. Qais Ghanem

When a minister of the crown

In this very political town

In the House would arise

Look the camera in the eyes

Then would tell a pack of lies

Is it any real surprise?

Is he not the blue-eyed boy

Of the one with deep blue eyes?

Would he not use any ploy

To remain in his employ

While he rules over this land

With his tiny hand picked band

Even if he’s one cowboy

Who might ruin or destroy

Any diplomat or envoy

Who might dare tell the truth

Or detect like a sleuth

He would crush him and enjoy

Being again that bully-boy!
