Do I have to vote?

Do I have to vote?

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Do I have to vote?
When the Hindenburg
floated into town,
words blew in the wind
on a promise
Speeches had to be tied down
when words don't carry
that much weight
In the end 
everything burned
lies, trust
and lots of money
Some of which was mine!
      New Taxes.
Do I have to vote?
Knowing their pockets
will become
bulgy, green
and I'm left
feeling devalued;
wallet empty.
Yes another term of
money reducing agents
of cash not well spent.
Can't we just shoot instead,
just like the old days
" Common  lads let's lynch him!"
On the grounds of
debt and their greed 
bestowed on society.
What happened to the honest party?

i read this and the US came to mind
do i have to vote .... can't i just sit this one out

Politicians are the very meaning of a lie
they speak when they dont do
And do everything they never speak of

Except for Canada :P
For real .....
