Like any athlete with a sponsor,
politicians are paid
by the highest bidder with the lowest morals
to run their mouths and
cross the finish line
~
It's a spectator sport,
the crowd a blur of reds and blues,
lines of people strung along
~
Red caps and thin blue lines
Redlines and flat lines
PvP in a battle royal, one color vs the other
99% divided in the weeds
1% pulling strings in the clouds
