X Factoring
Votes cast
and counted, there’s the liberty
Of one
hundred and sixty thousand choices
Choosing
without forty million plus voices
Being heard.
Such is bourgeois democracy.
The “first
amongst equals” is selected
According to
the whims and partial views
Of Tories.
Whoever might win or lose
Little can
reasonably be expected
Beyond
measures intended to serve
Capitalism’s
best interests, its state
Designed to
serve its purposes and fate.
And yet, the
unconsidered still reserve
The power of
all the present process mocks
To transform
their lives via the ballot box.
D. A.
