Representatives Resent Us

   So many speak of ‘our democracy’
     though it seems representatives resent us 

   They blithely vote for their party’s agenda
     then when questioned, they act nonplussed

   We keep electing the same ones over and over  
      the familiar’s more comfortable than the unknown

    So much ‘for the people’ in ‘our democracy’
      ~ who don’t really deserve it, you see
