A Poem About Kyrsten Sinema and the Fools Who Keep Her in Office

I'll tell you how the system works, my friend,
Because I know that you don't give it any
Thought. You wish that the prices of pills
You're prescribed would be lower. Your
Senator doesn't agree. Having been handed
Hundreds of thousands of dollars by those
Who you paid for your medicines, she's taken
Care to assure that they profit. You've never
Known that. All that you “know” is that her
Advertisements, paid for with the drug makers'
Money, say that she “fights for the people,”
And, of course, you know her name, so, though
She acts against your interest, you vote for her,
Anyway, time after time. This is democracy.
Isn't it fabulous? Blissfully ignorant, you can
Keep giving betrayers permission to lead.
