the debate

the debate tells
you something. tells you
a lot about where we are
as a civilization.
it's an epiphany of
sorts.
we are lost
and dumb. we are helplessly
wandering
this land
of consumption
and entertainment.
we've lost our way
and we want these leaders
that reflect the whole,
to lead us
around the desert
that we've made. vote
left. vote right.
it doesn't matter.
everything will not stay
the same,
but become worse.
