Kill for Hire

A poem about elections...
All of us live in a world
Whose leaders kill for hire;
We cast our votes for flags unfurled,...
And death is our desire

The death of tax, the death of laws
That limit what goes on;
Sometimes we overlook the flaws
And we become a pawn;

A white or black pawn in a game,
A press fueled match of chess;
Whose kings and queens, devoid of shame;
With our vote do we bless.

All of us live in a world
Whose leaders kill for hire;
We cast our votes for flags unfurled,...
And death is our desire
