the right and left

given time
the energetic political
supporter
dressed
in red white
and blue, a tall hat,
with placard
in hand, stating who
they are for or
against will get old.
get tired.
get sensible and realize
that it's all a sham.
a game
of smoke and mirrors,
promises unfulfilled,
bold
dreams that will never
be had.
but for now, they rise,
they clap and holler,
stamp their collective feet.
they are full of youth,
full of everything
but a sense of history
and time, with
not enough yesterdays
behind them.
