Halloween Election
All the ghouls come out for Halloween
to ask you for your vote.
With their sticks and signs
sure to hammer their line
in the chance to be your goat.
Where their passion's lost
for the greater sign
that will dazzle your eyes in bloat.
And their colors blind to the popular mind
that the issues are all mote.
And you ask yourself
how could I go on
in a world too dumb to vote
Where the scariest thing
you know to ring - is the answer
will come post-mote.
When you ask yourself
How could I have vote
for the man I thought was right
When you know you live
for the man outside
with his hammer going down in fright.
