Game show politics,
up to their old dirty tricks,
giving the poor a swift kick.
Reality television soundbites.
Is this how it's done today?
What happened to public outcry?
It's all pointless anyway.
They all lie.
Reality TV,
political mimicry,
barking out their one-line quips,
pointless questions
that lack any depth.
It's all game show politics.
The one with the most clicks,
the laughs and the likes,
gets the prize.
You are live on Channel Four
Please do not swear.
We’re coming
to get you out of there.
I'd rather watch my eyes melt.
From the inside.
Than to see this spread of slime,
like a political pantomime
taking over primetime.
On a death slide.
Who wants to be a rider
on the prime ministerial merry go round.
It doesn't last long,
and it's not much fun
but an unfair lifetime wage
is the prize won.
Even when your public are freezing,
not eating, pleading for help.
The game show carries on.
Like a game show host,
whose show is giving up the ghost,
you just don’t know when to quit.
Pumping out sly quips
to detract when ratings slip.
It's all game show politics,
where they get away with dirty tricks.
Thanks for reading
