Election

Stuck between darkness and light,
That's how they saw their plight.

A circle filled in tight,
Your democratic right.

Freedom was on the line,
The scary ads do chime.

Billions spent to snare,
The unwittingly unaware.

Politicians' greedy fights,
Stripping away more rights.

Paid for by a PAC,
Morals they truly lack.

For it is all a game,
They should hide in shame.

Ego plods right on,
Elections are a con.
