reaches its pitch
as the politicians make
a last ditch
effort
to appease, lie and
manipulate
the masses
into voting for them and not the other
side
with me, I have the personality
unlike the other fella
that bogey, false,
man
of the people
will decide
what’s best for their pocket
if I can pick it with
stealth taxes
so much the better
not believe all we say
we look both ways at once
and tell you what you want to hear
is true
blue patriot, parading
on the battle bus
I’ll come to your town
or maybe I’ll fly in
by the seat of my minority pants
with my sound bites
into a pie
nice photo op
down a beer
kiss a baby
on the head
of the nail
biting count
down to
a new dawn
or, maybe, just, a false one
just give me a fair go
give me your vote
an X marks the spot
just don’t bother asking about
my policies.
They’ll change once I’m in.
