A Kick In The Ballet Box

High winded speeches
Roll through clichéd promises
Sound Bites of satisfaction
Aimed to plicate the masses
Look after your own
And forget the rest
The unprinted political confession
The faceless clones
Offer little difference
How can we vote for the better choice?
When the is not even a lesser evil
Just a repeated public image
Of well educated representation
Each missing the selfless devotion
To serve the needs of their masters
A voice strangled into silence
Now begins to speak once more
Into a roaring shout to acclaim
A point has been reached
To kick in the ballet boxes
