Fun House Politics
The eve of the big election
asses and elephants sparring,
one tramples our heart the other
slowly nibbles it to death
affluence trying to seduce the minions
with their million-dollar smirks
and five and dime lips.
I enter the election booth
staring through a kaleidoscope of red, white and blue
referendums written by whom
I'm the dreamy fool, placing my future
in the palm of warlocks and witches
fun house perverts and pigs
twirling ideologies with jesters on a crooked pledge.
The election will come to a merciful end
asses and elephants will gloat unchained,
trampling and nibbling away
until the madness sets in
and the pack of lemmings
breaches the ledge.
