Empowerment

I like the sense of it
Choosing those who manages the state
It does not mean I feel included
That anyone thinks about me
That my needs are the platform of the slate
I sense that all this spending 
Wastes my time and expectation
That any change of governing
Is a delusion
In hemlock I cannot drink
The franchise
Holds us tettered at a brink
