Mortal Qualmbat: a short commentary on the modern political scene
November 5, 2007 by Miki Saxon
Politics and leadership are supposed to go together,
but globally the leaders suck, no weightier than a feather.
This time of year the rhetoric builds until it’s overwhelming
and the candidates go on and on—they all want to be helming.
It doesn’t matter what they say about the needs and musts
don’t believe the campaign talk—they’re not a crowd to trust!
They all say that they’ll care for us and do their very best,
but if history offers any lesson it’s that they’ll blow the test.
In cities and in countries the story is the same
as each candidate assures us that the others are to blame!
They want to be elected, that’s the important thing
to yell and wave on election night, “Hooray, I won. Ka-ching!”
But disgusting as the choices are it’s important that you vote,
so hold your nose and make your mark or democracy could croak.
