Bad Poetry: Election


 

Election

Why the fuck

Do we have to go through

This shit again?

America once again has a choice

That shouldn’t be a choice at all.

On one side

With have stupidity,

Venality,

Conspiracy,

And sloth.

On the other,

We have someone

Who can speak in complete sentences

And who is promising

To continue democracy.

For nearly a decade,

I have wasted

Mental energy

Contemplating how someone

Could vote for a two-bit grifter

Who wears make up

And speaks in a vernacular

That you’d have to be an idiot

To understand.

Why is it close?

Are we as dumb

As we appear to be?

I fucking hope not.

Please, come November,

Let us have a small redemption

And vanquish the sins

Of a country.
