Election
They’re in your face with political schemes,
with their crooked smiles on cell phone screens,
another election’s drawing near,
that’s why their candidates want your ear.
They promise things with endless chatter,
divert your eyes from things that matter,
their rhetoric’s filled with fear and lies,
and why our country’s in demise.
They’ve all agreed on the narrative,
none stands up for the imperative,
no logic, science nor discussions,
their arrogance has repercussions.
With masking, lockdowns, and passport vax,
these mainstream parties of thieves and hacks,
stand there for continued oppression,
and unjust laws you cannot question.
For this election is your last chance,
to save your freedoms and make a stance,
press the candidates on all that matters,
before your rights are torn in tatters.
Research instead all the ones who care,
the ones they block and get no air,
for independents have lots to say,
and speak for you in everyway.
The day has come, now change direction,
for new beginning with this election,
cause’ mainstream parties are all two faced,
employed by criminals they’ve embraced.

The Activist Poet (2021 Edit)
About this Poem: The Canadian election is coming up in September 2021 and as always, the mainstream political parties are all compromised and in collusion with wealthy interests. Freedom requires that we stand up and take control of our destiny even though the election system is clearly rigged against us. We must try all non-violent avenues in front of us but if oppression and totalitarianism still remain after all options are exhausted then revolution will be the only road left. It's better to vote for an independent candidate that has our community’s concerns at hand than a lying thief that has corporate interests and deep pockets at hand. Vote Independent to reclaim our Independence!
