Minions: the Strangest Creatures

We are the strangest creatures...
those henchmen following the villains;
their urgent command we must obey, 
a human brain we don't have as they!
Our shape is rather cylindrical,  
our appearance is yellow or blue;
some have one eye, others two...
we are those minions so comical!

We set out to do unfair deeds,
deceiving people with promises,
" Vote for him, he's the best candidate! "
And speaking we shake hands...
hoping they'll go to the polls and vote!

It's such a campaign of despicable social hypocrisy,
we're limited in either intelligence or equality:
but what's in store for us, dumb robots?
They program us to their liking, afraid of riots;
and we keep on walking with happy hearts...
convincing folks to trust and believe in democracy!
