Slop the Vote

Charlotte LeBlanc

Pigs are real.
Boars live in the hearts of our leaders
who fabricate, fleece, and steal
to benefit opulence and bottom-feeders

Smell the stench of D.C,
our national sty.
Parasites swarm quite naturally.
Inhale the odor as rotten bacon fries.

Watch them drink up troughs of greed.
The PACs love to fatten them up round.
Observe the clamor to lead.
Hear the squeals, the stagnant sound.

Who is to blame for our bureaucratic swine?
Look no further than the voting masses.
You and I are responsible for this stretch of time
Where politicians kiss corporate asses.
