of voter indifference.
Hear their awful calls.

To orgasmic heights.

So to be or to not be,
The hell with it all.

Her breasts, full-blown sails,
her life wafted by men's thoughts,

For a brighter tomorrow,

Rotten red apples,
promises that smell so sweet,
incumbents returned.

Starr's star darkened more
with each sanctimonious
evasion and smirk.
