the lesser of two evils

when you listen
to the politician, watch him
standing there
giving another speech, you
wonder what
makes him do what he's
doing.
why he became who he is.
full of words
and the promise of good deeds.
his teeth white,
his hair aglow in the lights.
you want to believe
him, trust him
and think that he's one of you.
but rarely
is this true.
you have no choice,
but to vote
and choose the lesser
of two evils.  nothing
changes and there's little
you can do.
