mayors and saviors



its local voting time again
so they’re on every corner
dancing with signs for their
chosen candidate

on Fridays there’s a family
at a different intersection
noisy about Jesus
trying to save us from hell

i’m leaning on pessimism
towards mayors and saviors
i can’t tell the bullshit 
from the bible anymore

i usually crank up the radio
and roll down the window
to drown out their proclamations
... i don’t like being yelled at
