voting rights are
illusions of power in
common working hands
backstage manipulations
make democracy a farce
keep masses busy
invoke suppressed emotions
instigate battles
they manage wealth of nations
we debate inanities
politics needs funds
business demands high favors
manipulations
they laugh at our ignorance
all the way to acquired wealth
