Dirty Politics

The lines have been drawn 
The battle commenced
Each voter a pawn
Each party seems tensed.

They’ve argued the topics
All blurred the same lines
We muse on our prophets
Determine our swines.

Does one vote for their country?
Or just seek our own gain
Chasing lollies quite bluntly
Causing decades of drain.

You know no sweeties from strangers
Could ever end well
But in spite of the dangers
You’re tempted to kiss and not tell.

You’ve tried to do study
Policies, farming,  and crime
Snatched beliefs from some buddies
Hell research on Facebook saves time.

Days to polling have dwindled
There’s claims of rich serving up poo
Yet when the economy’s swindled
Shucks, we’d work for a tranny named Sue.

Oh how the experts do surface
Daily their ranks seem to swell
Poems and posing’s are posted
It’s social media hell.

There’s calls for compassion
Never an end to the queue
Yet when they dole out the rations
It’s from my plate to you.

So we each vote for our promise
Mine? Well it really means well
To be frank and quite honest
I hope the reds go to hell.
