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
