                        POLITICS A COAT OF MANY COLOURS

Root and route of propaganda
Eclipse of natural conscience,
Prejudice and injustice
Titanic of religion
Fiery furnace of terrorism,
Politics, a coat of many colours.

Greedy gigantic masquerade
Selfish-achievement ambassador
Human-destroying grenade
Worst disappointing model,
Heartless betraying partner,
Politics, a coat of many colours.

Agony coated in harmony
War presented by peace,
Division booked by tourism
Evil deeds planted as seeds,
Racism tied to summits,
Politics, a coat of many colours.

Colonization, singing civilization
Corruption embalming power
Hate attaining diplomacy
Cruelty achieving royalty,
Barbarity uplifting dynasty
Politics, a coat of many colours.

Sophisticated wickedness
Mirage of freedom
Bondage,o for emancipation
Darkness against libration
Doom in place of development,
Politics, a coat of many colours.
