Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Verse

Mirror Cause

Some cast their vote
for the loudest lungs that puff lira lies nonstop
Others marked their ballot
for the silver tongue that covet gold coins a lot

Some made an absentee choice
for the robbing eyes which hoodwinked hearts a-plenty
Others gave their elective wish
to the palm sticky hands which pilfered pockets a-many

Some believe the reason 
for their practical appraisal selection 
is quite different than others

Others feel the expressed persuasion
for their conferred representation
has the same pragmatic motive as some

Hear the mirror cause — 
Different democratic strokes
paint the same Roman republic outcome

Rhetoric don’t pause ... 
identical coin-flip sound bytes
Other clones next time is gonna campaign run

Mirror cause ... manufactured election slogan miracles:
the two-faced head spit shine rosy peddle tales
Donkey or elephant tongues ... cheerful color spin woes: 
the bifurcated tails be on thorny crown heads
