early sunshine
the last crescent
of a waning moon

"twenty percent of young adults
don't trust the election process,"
and who am I to argue?
I've only ever voted once
for the person I thought the best candidate
and then that guy turned Tory
leaving me feeling betrayed.
We vote for the party, not the name
because we believe we can influence the outcome
but in the end the winners are always
the politicians on the zeitgeist
bringing back segregation and racist policies,
growing fat off the proceeds of national cuts.
