April's Voting Fools

Left, Right, Left, Right

All my friends on Facebook

think of democracy

with all their might

Left= Bad

Right=Wrong,

Everyone's election game

Right on song

Up, Down, Down, Up

We all wait

for The market and the elevator

to create their storm

In a teacup

People perfectly reasonable

a few months ago

unrecognisable

with the new logo

they sport

as they court

a date on the calendar

when they'll vote.

Where they'll be vindicated

or not

After which whether they'll have angst

or not

for the next five years

is yet unclear

And while there won't be

any tears

they'll be outrage

as people in a cage

argue about freedom

with all their wisdom.

Please do vote, of course, whatever your gripe

or forever smoke the peace pipe.
