The Prime Minister kept coming back
underscoring his whole approach
to issues of whatever kind
as 'doing the right thing';
and, as he would repeat this phrase,
to himself would justify
all decisions he had taken, now was taking.
The people in the studio audience
arranged like letters on a keyboard
each cipher designated
for 'doing the right thing'
were pressed in turn by the ensuing
to bring about and justify
all decisions he had taken, now was taking.
