#292 Disillusioned and Disenfranchised


I
Is disillusioned
With political process
Isolated from what I see
On the local TV
Their bad decisions
Pour forth like a bad disease

No matter
Who gets elected
Democrat
Republican
Then Democrat again
Rinse and repeat
Infinite ad nauseam
The whole process
Should be in a museum

Nowadays
I throw my vote away
On obscure Independents
In the wistful hope
That just one more vote
Will encourage them
To keep on trying
Though most everyone else
Is brainwashed
Into thinking they are a joke

You ate a Democrat
You ate a Republican
They both gave you gas
You cannibal citizen
Left wing conservative
Right wing liberal
Washed down
With a dose of literal disenfranchisement

Who will be the winner
Seems like
The talking heads decide
Us parrots just pull the handle
Repeating as taught
Refusing to gamble

A question would be:
Are there really more than one party?
I'm thinking
There is only actually one
For they always seem to act the same
When all is said and done

Find the line between them
And all their special interests
It's blurry at best
When it's even there

Oh my
It's polling time again
Time to tell Gallup
That I'm planning to vote
For that dark horse once again
