In the future
Elections will be
Every 10 years
Held on TV
A One Night Spectacular!
No pre-election campaigning
With phone or online votes
After the leader’s debates
Only those permitted
To call themselves ‘Citizens’
Can participate
Polling stations
Are a thing of the past
Mixing in public
At such a sensitive time
Will now be a crime
Those no longer Citizens
Held under tight control
By the National Guard
Candidates will present as before
Like they are fighting to get
Through that winning door
Each stating that only they care
For our country
And for us ‘all’
No studio audience will be there
The event will be filmed
Beforehand
In a secret location
Probably a bunker
Underground
The safest place around
Now that, Post-Blair
Wars and suffering
Blight our lands
There will be nothing
To choose between them
As change is no longer planned
Each part of the same
Business led conglomerate
Determined to keep control of our world
Anna Archichek
