Politicos - the Sad Saga of our Country (Senryu Series)

while the country burns,
politicians just bicker ~
flames will engulf all.

decadence looms~
economic destruction,
not too far away.

soothsayers predict,
doomsday is not far away~
face reality.

sheer fear threatens
their existence - they wake up~
reforms get announced.

the opposition
not to feel left out have called
a nationwide strike

does anyone care,
how much it costs the nation?
this true grinding halt.
