Your Fucked
All hail democracy
All hail mob rule
Where there is safety in numbers
Right, wrong or indifferent
The elected are not servants
Of the people or for the people
They are merely puppets
We should be holding the strings
Our votes should count for something
But clearly, they don’t
The elected, once elected
Become the slaves
Of their puppet masters
The owners of the country
The owners of the world
The real powers that be
Assassination personal or actual
Is available to any
Elected slave
Who will not bow the knee
Do I feel sorry
For these bought and paid for
Jugglers of lies?
They sold us down the river
Decades ago
They sold us into slavery
They sold us to the man
Pretending democracy
Democracy is a sideshow
A circus for clowns
With big feet
And stupid grins
Your vote is meaningless
You think you have rights
You have no rights
They can be taken away
At the stroke of the mans pen
You are as worthless as your vote
Give up
You cant win
It’s too late
You are fucked
THAT IS ALL!

A subject matter close to my heart - its good to find a site where you can post your opinions freely.
I look forward to your further offerings

Places where you can post freely are rare and are becoming rarer by the day. So much for freedom of expression. I have found that this site, so far, allows me to say exactly what I like - long live 'Deep Underground' :-)
thank you for you comments and interest :-)

politicians should not be like everyone else, it is a great sadness that they are worse than everyone else. they are there to serve the people and protect and preserve the good of the people, very few actually do
Yes, the politicians should be serving the people as they are employed to do, agreed. They wonder why people (youth especially) are so apathetic when it comes to voting. If it actually made some sort of difference the idea would be more compelling. As much as speaking out seems pointless to some, I think it's important to encourage people to remember what the actual jobs of politicians are meant to be. Doing right by citizens should be priority and if that goes forgotten, for whatever reason, politicians should welcome attempts to get back on track instead of getting defensive. I feel that any respectable, honorable individual in that field should have no problem supporting that sentiment.
Though I agree that change is tough to see, I think keeping some hope alive is good. We must do what we can even if only on small scales. I enjoyed this honest write.
