Disembodied Voice
It comes in beta waves,
an electro-magnetic tone
The blu-ray timbre
channel surf creep
in your sleep
Then it’s rapid eye movement gone
This disembodied voice
whispers robo-call suggestively,
“Vote for American czar me”
Saying, cast your ballot
for the hand that turns the screw
Will govern by absentee headspace,
be a virtual
proxy voice for the oligarch few
Reverberated words of coin authoritarian oscillation
soundbyte feed discontent
Promising to Twitter lead,
mint breath blindly,
by jingle radar sense: Foment ability of echolocation
The drifting voice,
grifting in the poll ether,
uses dead president divination
to ruble follow the money
It’s silver tongue got Midas finger talent,
oh so gold digger uncanny
This disembodied Klux voice
utters in dark tone, Klu bigotry:
“Vote cult figuratively
for wannabe dictator me!
I’ll put Democracy,
in a freedom of speech deprivation sleep
Let my electoral lullaby mood of choice
allow the bane of tyranny
to give you a text disenfranchised voice”
The vexatious tone of the disembodied drone
urges every rebel diehard
to ballot gray matter play their trump card
Tho’ most bellow vociferously
To take a chance,
and gamble on chaos longevity
By selecting the Joker
chortling insane asylum policies
You can hear the disembodied voice
in your waking dreams —
Floating lunatic fringe
Ideas
that’ll make you cringe
