November Roaches
The garden of plastic signs
only blooms around election time
those two-legged roaches spouting empty words
they don't give a damn about our lives
where were these roaches
on the fourth of July.
I feel like pruning their signs
but it's a felony crime
you can even do time..
but tear down honest Abe
and they'll turn a blind eye.
can't wait for the circus to leave town
the neo-politicians juggling pins of our emotions
big nosed clowns
spitting tear gas in our faces
from plastic flowers
empty vases they are.
can't wait for the two-legged roaches
to crawl back into their dark holes.
and they bark at us to vote..
for what..
a roach?
