Political Silence
Tuning Out The Noise
Slithering, coiling, climbing, like a worm
Into my brain it seeps and spins; their ideals and
Lies. Oh, how they lie! The lies and the facts, and the opinions
Endless sound bites of garbage and propaganda, of misinformation
Never ceasing television and podcasts and news stations and print stories
Challenging me to make the most important decision of our lives
Every four years it happens, why does this year feel so much more is at stake
