It has been impossible to ignore,

the shouts of derision,

the media insanity and lacking balance,

of course the people of Mos Eisley spaceport

would have dearly loved

to vote in someone with integrity

like old Ben Kenobi

but he could not be trusted,

better stick with Lord Vader,

a comfortable pair of hands,

a firm tight grip

on the situation

and in the end

it’s not like we fall for the rhetoric,

we are decent citizens

and have no interest in the scum

and villainy of the universe,

we are not turkeys voting for Christmas….
