A letter to the voter, signed: dejected-(sigh)-There's No Use In Voting

Dear Voter:

Withhold your vote
Don't vote for a fed,
Never a mayor,
Surely not a premier;
One thing's for certain,
Money's gone to their head,
Here in the West,
Democracy's dead!

Brad Katsuyama,
Proved stock markets are rigged!
If the stock markets are bad,
It's a trough for the pigs;
It's the tip of the iceberg
Corruption's real big!
One things for certain
Politicians,
Always renege.

A Politician will whisper,
Sweet nothings
In your ear.
You're the giggly prom date
They want to be near.
Seduce you they will,
With what you want to hear,
When you become pregnant
From abortion they'll steer!

Elected  officials,
Require lessons from Piketty,
About how the wealth gap
Made 90 percent rickety;
Politicians,
Must fix the split,
Lickety;
Neoliberalism's a failure,
That's far too persnickety.

There's no use in voting
If these conditions remain:
Kids with no future,
Income tax gains,
Mental health issues,
That drive us insane,
Homelessness soaring,
addiction its bane,
A serious debt load,
One job can't sustain,
No chance of a pension
No chance to maintain
Then to top it all off,
A select few;
Amass wealth they retain.
