Voting In The Dictator

You watch their interviews
Read their propaganda
And then
Come election time
You’ve gotta go
Into the box
And pencil in a name
A party
And you can’t help
But feel useless
Because yes
You’re voting
And you feel democratic
But really
You’re just
Voting in the dictator
Who
Once elected
Will decide on
What to do
Without you
And you have no say
So the whole
Democracy things feels
A little limited
And kind of like
A facade
Made to make you
Feel like
You had a say
When really
You didn’t
At all
