Do Not Count On My Vote


it is all much too loud
and I do not like the noise
and I have grown weary of
the political and romantic rhetoric
just more words
to get you on their side of empty
and the flattery is just a skin too thin
to leave you lacking
when the whole team is there
watching you standing
on the sidelines wall flowering
you have forgotten
from where it is you came
abandoned quit telling me
who it is I should be
I have legs and know to stand
if you were my hero
you wouldn’t have to keep
telling me
