how to become a politician
a starchy mix of unsavoury people,
upper lips stiff and frown so feeble.
their watery eyes, with little resolve,
their fanatic ideas lit up and devolve
into pure and utter chaotic noise,
they all scream and yell, their voice
they think, is more important
while another's lay dormant.
and from this, those heard over others
gain the role, the power to govern and smother.
