Love, Disenfranchised.

I know a firebrand desk-jockey

Who drinks whiskey half past noon-

Tic-tacs halfheartedly funding his nomination

As he preaches from his barstool with

Baby-kissing legislator’s lips.

I know a pencil-pushing politician

Who lobbies for favors, filibusters criticism,

Tells primary-colored lies- and looks

Wounded when I doubt my choice

Each and every time I pull his lever…

‘Cause what has he done for me lately?
