Political debate
Sense and nonsense;
Emotional postures

~~~~~~~~~


Strange faces
Prowling vampires;
Blood bank rapture

~~~~~~~~~


Another field day
Fiery speeches;
Free-for-all postures

~~~~~~~~~


Scramble around
Hustle and bustle;
"Vote for me!"

~~~~~~~~~


Easy promises
Entertaining smudges;
Crazy claims galore

~~~~~~~~~


Witness here
Good, bad, and ugly;
Vote with eyes open

~~~~~~~~~


Empty talk hurls
Acidic vitality;
Bizarre entertainment!

~~~~~~~~~


Floodgates open
Hungry ghost festival;
Be ever mindful

~~~~~~~~~


Be still my heart
Let the truth dawn;
Follow your heart

~~~~~~~~~


Here we go again
Lots of campaigns;
Lacking substance

~~~~~~~~~


Seeing is believing
Hearing is deceiving;
Too much noise

~~~~~~~~~
