Elections

Populist cinematic set-up
communal worn-out getup
lamb voters to the slaughter
blithesome chops for the squatter
pathological liar driven by desire
filial flesh thrown to the fire
raising glasses to new sellouts
spinners inhale the barbecue smell
unseen inside of redoubts
this feast is cooked in hell.

Grand an offering
of splendid suffering
caption to nothing's what it seems
about democracy et al
plain ratified formalities
when hope goes up in smoke
and tear gas launches for us to choke
on elections of selections
blurting promises as deflections
to run for office made profession
about the culprit made no mention.
