I Hate Politics

by Madeline Pestolesi

Fuck you, politics.
I used to be invigorated discussing you.
I wanted to express myself,
Find out what people thought about you,

I'm tired of being told to cast my vote
To keep another bad guy out.

She had big ideas about transparent government.
And now I know she truly is an American:
Concerned much more about
