Of Politics

On campaign trails,
They all sound great.
And in debates everyone captivates.
But those who vote,
Are provoked by them.
Knowing that whoever wins...
It's back to an elite agenda,
With that as a priority...
Once again.

Those who know...
Their lifestyles wane,
Realize their lives remain...
Stagnant with nothing changed.
As the entertainment,
Of politics...
Stays the same as usual.
Corrupt...
And shamelessly blatant.
