If you don't vote, don't complain!

I'm an inveterate political junkie,
And the candidates are so supremely funky,
I'm already in serious campaign withdrawal,
Yearning for more sound bites, further venom and gall.

The hopefuls, it seemed, were not above pandering,
With non-stop circumloquacious meandering.
So I'm left with an ache, like a carious tooth,
Does their rhetoric bear any semblance to Truth?

"There are no more true Statesmen," we bitch and we moan,
"Our government is broken," we grunt and we groan,
Then we vote in our own self-interest with verve,
And inevitably get just what we deserve!
