I don’t get it

And because I fashion poems

I will use political poetry

To reveal a few annoyances

I don’t get it

The greatest of my frustrations

Concerns democratic societies

Where citizens have lost their power

I don’t get it

Why people complain

Then do nothing

To make things change

I don’t get it

The forfeiting of votes

Then crying in disgust

When rights are revoked

I don’t get it

Why politicians claim

To work for the people

Yet only help Rich Lane

I don’t get it

Why you’d vote against your interest

By allowing brainwashers

To tell you what is for your best

I don’t get it

Why people fail to think

When digesting biased info

Their minds become bare links

I don’t get it

But I imagine

This piece of poetry

Shrinks as one in millions

Of other political poems

Written by baffled poets

Wondering how the world

Develops the way that it does
