RIGGED ELECTIONS

The ballot box frowns As a second slip sneaks in Agents asleep, their guard undone This act, their party's loss begun. In another world, quiet and cold Where eyes merely witness, and truth is sold Another ballot box grins with glee Its smile bought by bribery. What once was a promising race Now marred by a missing name, a darkened trace. A different print, a shadowed twist A voter lost, forever missed. No longer a choice, but a staged deceit A premeditated game where truth meets defeat. Like a circus without its clowns The ballots turn, as fate frowns.
