TOKEN POLITISMS

Folder: 
THE DRUNKENING

a penny

for your thoughts

though I bet

you’re smart enough

to know

that I don’t

really give a damn

about your plight

or the battles

that you face

 

it just ain’t enough

to rouse my interest

and make it

something I must

do something about

so I just engage

in token politisms

to keep up face

and try to make myself

look a little better

than I actually am
