Tis The Season

Inspired by Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Celestial &
Reena’s Exploration Challenge #254 – Politico

every year, the same spiels
the politico aiming for celestial status
trying to come off better than the opponents
while smearing the other for their lead
showing support for those they disdain
those they allegedly will stand for
knowing they can’t win without them
vilely begging for votes
and trading favors for money
the ill-gotten gains
mean more to them than actual representation

will it ever change?
