The Perils of Intergalactic Integration
​
Galloping galaxies spreading lies too,
brain cleanse their voters
to retain deposits;
appearing like igloos in Rio.
​
They make up new words
to woo their fanatics,
then promise no harm to 'Anti-them' planets,
and pledge what they cannot afford.
​
Minds photocopy and duplicate past,
disguising through waffle the actual vast
cost of it all whilst changing the speech
to moon bumping sleaze.
​
Like marathon day when numerous enter,
only the favourites will ever succeed.
Political baggers have odds length of death,
but none of this matters, and do not deter
hopeless parties like 'Martians Love Craters'
campaign and join in as certain time-wasters.
​
Although the galaxies integrate,
the electorate's conned from planet to space.
There's more selection for each voice -
A billion parties but still scant choice.
