Cynics' Arousal

If you live long enough
you'll have had the opportunity
to absolutely detest one politician
or another and more likely quite
a few of the creatures that
claim to represent your best
interests in our much-vaunted
government where the naive are
assured that big money and the 
powerful have nothing whatever
to do with the ballot box representing
of course democracy in action.
The paradox of course is that youth
neither jaded nor cranky tend not
to heed the call of the ballot
leaving it to the elderly to
vote the bastards out with the
vengeance of the overlooked grey
demographic overtaking in the
vastness of their numbers callow
youth responding to their own
imperatives unaware of such matters
as political corruption and in any
event simply not giving much 
of a bloody damn. So out with the
inept, ego-driven, power-hungry
attention-seeking, selfie-celebrating
miscreants and give another motley
crew the opportunity to mobilize
the tectonic faultlines with their
own reversible aftershocks.
